Writer's Digest
I just got a letter from Writer’s Digest informing me that I did not win the self-published author contest for this year. They also sent a comment sheet from judge #31, and I scored a five on plot, and a four on each remaining category; grammar, character development, and cover design. The scale was 0 to 5, five being outstanding. With it came this comment;
“Eliminating the Middleman has a fun plot device, the murder of infomercial actors. Maria is an interesting heroine, self-assured and confide

Upcoming book signings
Hey all.
If you happen to be in the beautiful Mid-Hudson Valley of New York this Saturday, October 4th, I will be at the Walden Harvest Fest sitting with the nice folks of the Josephine Louise Library. I'll be there off and on from ten AM until at least two o'clock, maybe later. I have quite a few copies of Five Fingered Firebugs to sign.

Getting in touch with my feminine side
Okay, you ladies out there can give a knowing smile at this one. I just had my first pedicure and what an experience. My wife just came back from one and said, “You should go. Your feet are disgusting.” So I took her up on it. Talk about getting in touch with your feminine side.
First, you sit in a nice comfortable massage chair while they soak your feet in warm water. Turn on the massage while your feet soak, and get relaxed. Next, she took my foot and trimmed the nails, then smoothed it off. Th

Eliminating the Middleman review
Gerry Mackay, the author of the Katie Maguire series, just wrote a nice review for Eliminating the Middleman.
Forman has done what few other authors have accomplished: kept me up all night reading his book. I may have lost some sleep, but once I picked up Eliminating The Middleman, I had to sit riveted to my favorite chair until I was finished.
As in the first book of this series, Dead Men Don't Jog, the engaging Maria Hart is recruited by her "sometimes" employer, Northeastern Fidelity Mutual Lif

Willy is out trying to photograph eagles and comes across a cottage for rent in the boondocks. She I drawn to the cottage, and to the reclusive, eccentric owner. She feels that she belongs there and determines to spend the rest of her life there, no mater how s
