About this author

Since emigrating to the United States from Romania in 1980 I’ve worked as a day laborer, a film projectionist, a music store clerk, a journalist/news writer for the U.S. Information Agency (Voice of America English Broadcasts), a TV Director for MSNBC and CNBC, and a freelance writer.

I am the author of the...more


My short story “Veracruz in Fragments” is now published at The Rusty Nail. Many thanks to editor Craig A. Heart and Dr. Kimberly Nylen Hart for taking this piece. The story made the rounds for several months, getting rejected over and over. At one point I pulled it and re-wrote some passages…basically unified it.

My rating:

add to my books
Part way through this beast of a brilliant book and to say I'm blown away by the psychological analysis which Sartre slowly unveils of Genet would be to water down profusely how I really feel.

Jimmy Lagowski Saves the World by Pat Pujolas

An absolute brilliant piece of work from author Pat Pujolas. Pat's interwoven stories in this novel hark back to the mastery of Raymond Carver's and Sherwood Anderson's portraits of complicated, flawed human beings navigating through a convoluted lif...more
Short Lean Cuts by Alex M. Pruteanu
" This author is one part poet and one part killer; plus two parts existentialist. As an aside, I flunked math in high school, but I know a great book when I read one. "Short Lean Cuts" is 96 pages of brilliant flash fiction, centered around the sam... "

My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
I'm a huge fan of dystopian/apocalyptic novels, mainly because--if crafted by good authors--they've shown an elegantly-weaved prescience into a gloomy and near future we've recklessly created ourselves FOR ourselves.

Michael's book presents us with an...more

I thoroughly enjoyed this little book. It was so refreshing to finally read a straight up, well-told story, after months upon months of reading independent, "edgy," obfuscated literature and poetry (usually sent to me for reviews or blurbs by other a...more
