added a status update: Yes, I know. I have maintained radio silence for awhile. The reason is that I have been consumed by a process (moving) and I am still in the belly of the beast. But I will have an announcement soon. Miss you guys, :-) \m/ Keep Reading and Keep Being Awesome!!

| I got into this after watching the HBO series. Have to say I was surprised at Martin's skill as a writer. This TV series pretty closely tracked the book and I can see why. His characters are strong and he is a fine writer, an excellent plotter. I thi...more | |

| McCarthy always amazes me with his stripped down language and the intensity of his stories. This read was marred a bit by my seeing the movie first. So I knew what would happen and kept picturing Josh Brolin and Javier Bardem (who was excellent as Ch...more | |

OK, gang. What is going down right now is the BIG GIVEAWAY! Yes, that's right. I'm giving away 10 signed copies of THE PURSUIT OF COOL and ten lucky readers will be the very first readers on Goodreads. So go for it. :) THE PURSUIT OF COOL Official GIVEAWAY
--Robb
At the halfway point of Catching Fire. She goes back in the arena for another Games! But this time to protect Peeta...
Currently in the throes of heavy planning to release my novel, THE PURSUIT OF COOL (TMiK Press). Selecting a POD publisher for the paperback version, deciding where to sell the ebook version...Note to any book bloggers out there: if THE PURSUIT OF COOL seems up your alley, or something you'd like to review, just let me know. It's a crossover of YA and Adult realistic fiction. Trying to decide where to send ARC copies.
Thanks for including me Robb. The Surfer looks very good and I wish you much success with your writing. If you have an interest in spirituality, I'll ask you to consider my spiritual allegory, Song of George: Portrait of an Unlikely Holy Man, for your reading list. It's fiction but is inspired by events from my life. Cinematic in style. Namaste, jesse
