Epidemic

Life| 2 Comments »

As I have mentioned, there has been an epidemic of babies in my life lately. Call it a blessing or a curse, a new one seems to come along every few weeks. The latest is my new nephew, Zack Dylan Feinsand. Young Zack showed up a few days early, and popped out at a whopping [...]

The Circle of Life

Life, Musings| 3 Comments »

Having kind of a bizarre week. Within the close A-list of friends and family in my life, there was a wedding, a birth, and a funeral. It’s been a roller-coaster that has left me utterly drained, both physically and emotionally.
All three major life stages were represented in the span of just a few days, the [...]

Buy Daddy Sneakers for Christmas

Life, Musings| 2 Comments »

I bought some new sneakers last week. I hate buying sneakers. It’s such a racket. You go to the shoe store and it’s all bright colors and three digit price tags, Brand names and ugly logos. All designed for the man who wants to show off his sneakers in addition to using them for their [...]

I’m not Jewish, but I play one on holidays.
I am a godless heathen, but my wife and her family are Jews, which exposes me to a lot of yiddish words and Jewish traditions. One of those is the Passover Seder, which I had to skip this year to go to NY ComicCon, (Sorry, God!), [...]

Looks Like He Read It

Just got a quote from Terry Brooks for my book jacket:
“I enjoyed THE WARDED MAN immensely. There is much to admire in Peter Brett’s writing, and his concept is brilliant. Action and suspense all the way; he made me care about his characters and want to know what’s going to happen next.”
I will post [...]

They’re Heeeeere!

I am expecting a furniture delivery today between 10 - 3, which is a little inconvenient , as it means I am not only missing yoga, but it drastically reduces my options to see an Iron Man matinee before the nine-too-fivers get out and swarm the theaters.
So I was all excited when the door buzzer [...]

Wordpress Hates YouTube

Life, Musings| No Comments »

For some reason, whenever I put a YouTube Embed into Wordpress, it gets all fucky. Since it was screwing with my entire last post, let’s try it separately.
Here’s a short video of Dani with our new buddy. And no, your speakers aren’t broken, my camera doesn’t record audio.

My Name is Luca

Life| 1 Comment »

I’d like to take a moment away from my usual ranting about nonsense to welcome into the world the boy who will hopefully be my unborn daughter’s best friend: Luca Baruch D’Entrone.
Luca wasn’t due to join us out here in the cold, bright world until May 24, but he just couldn’t wait to get started, [...]

Victory of Tissues

Lots of things happening on the writing front. Advance read copies for The Painted Man should be going out next week to reviewers and the like. I am very psyched for that. I also broke through my writer’s funk on The Desert Spear by skipping to another section and working on a different character, to [...]
