Provincetown Magazine: Excerpt from “Gifts Not Yet Given”

For those in P-town this week, pick up the October 10, 2013, issue of Provincetown Magazine, which features an excerpt from one of the stories in Gifts Not Yet Given, “The Cape.” The tale takes place on Christmas in Provincetown, as a Boston native flees his city for solace in his seaside bungalow. It is […]

Thanks, Gregory G. Allen, for interviewing me for Huffington Post!

It was great catching up with pal, author Gregory G. Allen, who interviewed me on my new book at The Huffington Post!  Greg is one of those rare multi-hyphenates–he writes, he acts, he directs–and does them all well.  As he is in the process of adapting Missing, by Drake Braxton, as a screenplay for a […]

Moderate Republicans: The Shutdown

Unlike some, this whole idea of a government shutdown hasn’t really affected me emotionally… at least, not yet. The arena of civil discourse is clearly long gone, and most people today speak without knowing anything about which they speak. The American public, as a whole, isn’t as curious, intelligent, or as passionate as one would […]

Robert Michael Morris on “Gifts Not Yet Given”

Russ and I were first introduced to Robert Michael Morris, like most of America, through the hysterical (and too-short-lived) series, The Comeback.  On it, he played Mickey, Lisa Kudrow’s hairstylist, and he delivered lines and wonderful reactions like nobody’s business! What most people don’t realize is that, in addition to being a sought-after actor, he […]

First Review: “Gifts Not Yet Given”

My sincere thanks to veteran reviewer Amos Lassen, who has been a wonderful supporter of the arts–particularly LGBT-related work–for his very kind review of my new book, Gifts Not Yet Given. He’d reviewed Songs for the New Depression and had liked it, but I was blown away, and so humbled to read in his new […]

Okay, I’m pulling out all the stops on this! I just got a lovely note from Trebor Healey, whose A Horse Named Sorrow was awarded the 2013 Ferro-Grumley Fiction Award, which he’d won previously for his Through It Came Bright Colors.  At the recent Lambda Literary Awards ceremony, Trebor was also awarded the 2013 Outstanding […]

“Gifts Not Yet Given” First Wonderful Quote – from Richard Kramer, novelist “These Things Happen”

One of the best books I’ve read this year has been the very funny and poetic These Things Happen, by novelist Richard Kramer. In my long-ago L.A. days, I was friendly with Richard and will always think fondly of him, our chats over coffee back with The Abbey was still a coffee house, and one particularly […]
