So, I wrote a book about the Shanley Hotel. It's a haunted hotel I've been to numerous times. The book was originally a promise to former owner, Sal Nicosia. However, when Sal passed away, it became a tribute to his memory. Sal was a good friend of mine, so I wanted to do this book right. I tried a different publisher because the previous one I used was very expensive. This is going to be ironic, so be ready. The new publisher completed my book and did not tell me it was done. I found out when I searched for it on a whim and saw it was available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble. I contacted the publisher and they gladly informed me that my book was now available. No shit! They only needed to confirm my address, so they could send me my complimentary copy. I waited and waited, but it never came. Guess what? They went out of business. That meant no more printed copies would be made. Great. I was able to order a few through the online vendors mentioned before. Eventually, I decided to just republish the book using a different publisher. Here comes the ironic part. I used my previous publisher that was too expensive. It was the only company I could rely up0n. I had another publisher I was considering, but they declared bankruptcy. Great. Anyway, it looks like the book will get a second chance. Above is the original cover. Below is the new cover. What do you think? The first edition was only available in paperback and as an e-book, while the new one will be available in hardcover, paperback, and e-book formats. It will also cost more than the first edition. No surprise there.

I was fortunate enough for my book, The Manhattanville Incident: An Undead Novel, to be displayed at Book Expo America this past weekend at the Jacob Javits Center. Sorry, this was posted after the event was over, but I had a busy weekend. Here is a photo of the book at the Okir Publishing table. I will be using that company for future publications. I need to test the waters, so to speak. Can't be tied down to one publisher. Not yet. 

On Friday, March 2, 2018 at 7 pm I will be doing a book signing at the Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site. The event will take place on the second floor in the Gothic Chamber. I will be signing and selling copies of my new novel, The Manhattanville Incident: An Undead Novel. The book is a modern take on the zombie apocalypse, which begins in NYC.  I hope you will join me.

I have finally completed my fifth book, KPPC: A Journey Through History, after nearly a decade of research and writing. Today, I submitted my manuscript, over 3100 photos, and other files to the publisher. Now, it is in their hands! My turn to sit and wait. I am excited for the future of this book. It was a long time coming. Many people are anxiously awaiting their copy, including me! 

I came across this video on Facebook. The video was created by Project Senium. It was very nicely done. It provides a brief professional look at the KPPC through using several video formats that include high speed video, aerial videos from a quad, and regular handheld videos. The information told by the narrator is accurate. The music was specially done for the video and it helps set the mood. I like it very much. It would almost make a good trailer for my book about the KPPC. Here is the link from NothingCooler.com.
