About me as I enter the Blogosphere
Hello readers (if I have any yet). M. Newman is my name as you no doubt have figured out by the title of this Blog.
I am the author of 2 novels: "School Colors," published in 2002 by Xlibris, written under the name Mitch Newman, and still available at xlibris.com. It is a smoking story of sex, drugs, violence and basketball at an inner-city high school. My current novel, published about a month ago is entitled, "Sophie Paraskova," and tells the story of a beautiful young Jewish woman who flees Russia with her family in the 1880's and arrives on NYC's Lower East Side where she falls in love with a handsome anarchist with whom she sets 19th century America on its ear. This book is available at Amazon.com.
In the past, I have written many articles for sports and sports-coaching publications and I was sports columnist for "The Newspaper," a Brooklyn weekly paper. More recently, I have been writing short stories which I plan to post on this Blog about once a month. I would also be very happy to post stories by my readers on this page.
Unfortunately for my writing career, I have a day job (really a day and night job) teaching PE and coaching basketball and softball at a NYC high school which, combined with an epic commute, keeps me too busy to do as much writing as I would like. I love the job, though, so no thoughts of quitting (I need the paycheck anyway}. Despite the time constraints I plan to post as often as possible. See you soon.
