After losing the 2009 RTM election, I wanted to keep my hand in and continue to perform public service for Fairfield. I remain committed to the notion that everyone should do some sort of volunteer work; either for the town, the church, the school, whatever. First Selectman Ken Flatto suggested my experience would make me […]
“The haggis is in the fire for sure.”That’s what Howard Weinstein said when I told him that our site was live and the press release formally announcing our existence had just been sent out.This has certainly been a work in progress since we began discussing the concept of Crazy 8 Press at last summer’s Shore […]
Another legend of my childhood has passed away. Gene Colan died last night after an illness, punctuating his final years which should have been happier than they were.Gene was 84 when he died and leaves behind a legacy which is thankfully captured in multiple collected editions from DC and Marvel so his work can continue […]
As many of you know, Crazy 8 Press is nearing its July 8 debut so the six of us have been ratcheting up our efforts to get the word out and prepare for the launch. Yesterday, though, the pricing debate was renewed and Peter David, our lead author, has posed the question to readers.While many […]

Last August, no sooner did I get accepted to the University of Bridgeport than I received a call, inviting me to interview at Darien High School for my internship. I went in, had a lovely chat, went home and a few days later got the call telling me I would be a part of the […]
I am usually happy to promote my published works or talk about my political or educational worlds but talking about me still makes me feel odd. Still, since we’re talking about raising money for the American Red Cross I’ll make an exception.We’re four weeks away from Shore Leave and Friday night’s charity roast of yours […]
I’ve talked about this before, but feel it’s worth giving you a happy update.Up in Hartford this session, I’ve been tracking the progress of Bill 5032: AN ACT REQUIRING HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR BONE MARROW TESTING. “To require individual and group health insurance policies to provide coverage for bone marrow testing.”Introduced by the Insurance and […]
As I feared, being an intern and taking three concentrated classes simultaneously is taking its toll on my time, hence the silence on the blog.I have been far from idle, to be honest. But, cramming in three lit courses means a lot of reading and writing. Thankfully, one wraps on the 22nd and the other […]
The fine folk over at Becker & Mayer commissioned Peter David to write the Spider-Man Vault and when he needed help, I was asked aboard to pitch in, receiving co-authorship. The book came out last fall but could only be purchased at Costco.Today that changes. The book is now listed in the current Diamond Previews […]
