Well, mine was a great teacher, but in all honesty, if it came to "the ultimate sacrifice" she'd have tossed me to the wolves. But she helped me put together a heck of a book proposal. So, I recently acquired a literary agent. I spent about 10 weeks towards the end of the year putting [...]
More Book! This is from a chapter called Tell Me About Your Mother, in which I was sent to a psychologist after leaving school in the eighth grade. I had left school because another kid, Bobby, had pulled a knife on me. Now my Mother and I wait in a reception area for [...] Here I present another small section of the book. This one is from a chapter entitled “A Bout of Teenage Anorexia as a Corrective Measure.” This sets up something that was life changing for me. You’ll see. Enjoy. Everything in the film Felicity was shot as though it were late afternoon. It was as if [...] Another small section of the forthcoming memoir – Monsters In The Wood.

Anyway, this is from [...] What follows is just a couple of paragraphs from my memoir in the works, “Monsters In The Wood.” The Chapter it is taken from is called “There Will Be No Play Fighting With The Angry Potato.” We were in the living room. I had been drawing. That was what I did as a kid. I [...] It was a difficult childhood. Working on a book. Here is one of the chapters. It is one of the lighter chapter and the first transcription of the story that won me my first Moth slam. Enjoy!
