My review of Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment is now live!

Though let me clarify - it’s not so much a  review as it is my quasi-intellectual musings on a literary masterpiece that has been read, dissected, reviewed and re-read by millions (?) before me ...

BUT,

there’s something irresistible about calling Raskolnikov a "soggy cracker".

HAPPY NEW YEAR from GONZO

I rang in the New Year the only way I know how - wetly.  Thanks Manchester. 

I hate to complain (lying) but the fireworks were so poor. They did shoot them off Central Library though which was a sight to behold.

Here’s to 2025, our second year on the web! Thanks for being part of the madness so far. Let’s make this year unforgettable - one wild idea at a time!

P.S. If your New Year’s resolution is to read or write more, you’re in the right place. Let’s do this!

Merry Christmas from GONZO

Santa stopped by, skimmed our fiction section, and declared, “This is better than the North Pole Times!” Then he borrowed our Wi-Fi to upload a new poem about reindeer union strikes. I tried to interview him, but he vanished.

P.S. The elves are now submitting haikus. Does anyone read Elvish?

Anyway ... thank you for supporting our community of storytellers, poets, artists, and thinkers. Merry Christmas!

THE GAMBLER CHAPTER 1-3 AVAILABLE NOW!

I want to call everything I write long-awaited because well ... people have waited a long time. The Gambler is complete for the most part, I am currently doing a small edit, chipping away chapter by chapter.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce a temporary break from publishing new content on the website due to the recent passing of a loved one.

Your understanding and support mean the world to me. Thank you for your patience as I take the time I need. I look forward to returning with renewed focus and energy.
