Déjà View Is Getting Some Old-School Press!

Extry! Extry! It’s hot off the presses, ma’am! And it’ll line your birdcage tomorrow!

People who follow my social media channels (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, and A Series of Tubes) will already know this, but since most in WordPress Land don’t, I decided to do a little write-up about how Déjà View is getting written up—in newspapers, that is. Yes, they’re still around! And they’re wonderful! (coming from a former newspaperman myself) Unlike my first novel, Danger Peak, my new one is actually getting some ink—real ink! (not digital) Specifically, there was an announcement about my book’s publication in the October 18th edition of South Bay’s Neighbor, my local newspaper. I was also interviewed by Michaela Medeck for the October 26th issue of The Islip Bulletin, another newspaper here on Lawn Guy Land (translation for those not in the know: Long Island). Truth be told, I actually pitched these papers a mention of Danger Peak when it was first published over a year ago, but they ultimately passed, despite some initial interest. I suppose when Danger Peak won multiple literary awards, including being featured on an electronic billboard in Times Square earlier this year, and my second novel came out, they realized I was serious about this whole writing thing. Here are the articles:

South Bay’s Neighbor (“Turn” to page 8) The Islip Bulletin

You’ll need to register with the website to read the full article in The Islip Bulletin, but I’m also attaching photos of both articles below.

There was a printing mishap with The Islip Bulletin, and photo credit should’ve been given to Nicole Esposito Photography. As you can see from the above photo, the credit was missing from the article, as well as my middle name (for some reason), but both omissions were corrected online.

You can also read a press release from my publisher about the recent press attention here:
