    Literary agent list (updated 11/10/08)

    November 10, 2008 - As I attempt to find an agency to pitch my new book, I thought it might be a good idea to list some of the agents I have contacted.

    Book review: "Catch-22" by Joseph Heller

    September 20, 2008 - Writing a review for Catch-22 by Joseph Heller is sort of Catch-22. If I don't tell you enough about it, you probably won't be interested in the book.

    August special: "The Developers" for under a buck

    August 08, 2008 - Lately I've been reading "Catch-22" by Joseph Heller. It's a great book (watch for a review in the future), but I noticed last week that the paperback price tag was 95 cents.

    April 23, 2008 - It's a quick turnaround from the CityLit Festival, but I will be in attendance at the JHU Spring Festival, which takes place April 25-27 at the Hopkins Homewood Campus. The details are a bit sketchy a ...
