Writing, Disney fans, ghosts and Norman Mailer: UBER RADIO NETWORK INTERVIEW NOW POSTED!
Me in the studio, on the air with P.M. Lites' Dawn Short.
So what did I do on Cinco de Mayo? I had a great time talking everything from ghosts and Disney Parks to the Norman Mailer Writers Colony and the real reasons behind being a writer with Dawn Short on Uber Radio Network’s P.M. Lites.
The show not only covers the paranormal, but a wide range of other topics. No matter what Dawn’s talking about, P.M. Lites is pure magic! It airs every Thursday from 9 to 10 p.m., and I encourage every listener with eclectic tastes to check it out. For information on the show, click here: http://www.uberradionetwork.com/shows/pmLites.html To listen live, visit http://www.uberradionetwork.com.
The program aired live and Nathan was nice enough to record it, so you can listen right from this blog by clicking the link below:

NEW SHIPMENT OF SKELETONS TO PTOWN’S EAST END MARKETPLACE
I heard some really fun news from my friends out in Provincetown recently: the East End Marketplace, the town’s exclusive retailer for my collection Skeletons in the Swimmin’ Hole—Tales from Haunted Disney World, has only one copy left in stock. So…a new shipment, as well as a poster, has been delivered—just in time for the nice weather!
The East End Marketplace is located at 212 Bradford Street(at the corner ofHowland Street) and is open year-round. It features a grocery and a selection of local wines, and their specialty is homemade food, such as Apple Crisp (to die for), meat loaf, macaroni and cheese and pot pie. Their terrific deli offers breakfast sandwiches, subs, and soups made to order.
In addition, it’s a local hang out. There are tables, and it’s not unusual to see people stopping in just to chat.
If you’re up in Provincetown, be sure to stop in and say hello!
LAST MINUTE—I’M LIVE ON P.M. LITES INTERNET RADIO SHOW TONIGHT AT 9 PM EST!
I’ll be a guest on the internet radio show P.M. Lites with Dawn TONIGHT from 9 pm to 10 pm EST on the Uber Internet Radio Network. You can listen to the show live when it goes on air right from the Uber Radio Network page here: http://www.uberradionetwork.com/

SKELETONS IN THE SWIMMIN’ HOLE IN GODDARD COLLEGE LIBRARY
MFAW Summer 2009 Goddard graduates in front of the Eliot Pratt Library on campus. We're holding up our bound theses. Left to right, me, Amy Tranchida, Maria Chaudhuri, and Christian Thiede.
I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Goddard College in Plainfield, Vermont, and alumni are encouraged to send copies of their books so they can be placed in the permanent collection at the Eliot Pratt Library on campus. I sent them a copy of Skeletons in the Swimmin’ Hole: Tales from Haunted Disney World.
I just received a nice e-mail thanking me and noting it would be placed in the library with a nameplate. I’m just proud my work will be part of the school and accessible to other students.
I know many of you who read my blog/newsletter are Goddard graduates, so when you have a book published, keep in mind that Goddard would welcome a copy.
