Autobiographical coming-of- age tale of five working class boys in the historic village of Cooperstown New York. The story centers around a local brothel called the Sugarhouse, operated by Ma Rutledge, the Maple Sugar Madam, and her two saucy, bovine daughters, Bertha and Emma. “The happiest times at the Sugarhouse came when Ma Rutledge was making maple syrup. During these sap-boiling days the sugary breath of the candy kitchen penetrated everywhere. The beds of the girls were saturated with sweetness. A roll in the hay with Emma or Bertha was like rolling in pastry flour.” But there’s trouble in paradise. A new girl arrives at the Sugarhouse, Belle Saint Marie, “a dusky Cajun princess with snapping black eyes and a body no man could ever forget once he’d seen it.” A lovers’ triangle develops, with tragic consequences for local hayshaker Paul Greenfield. “Guy DeWolfe and Belle Saint Marie were cut from the same cloth. That was obvious to everyone. The two of them were full of cayenne pepper. It was the French blood that surged in their veins. They were perfectly mated, like a pair of ocelots, hot-natured, highly strung, super-sexed and ferocious. Poor Paul Greenfield, who was easily the dullest man in Otsego County, simply didn’t stand a chance.” Twenty years later. The author returns to Cooperstown, having lost touch with his four childhood friends. What has become of them? And the Sugarhouse? “Supposing the whole town had been bulldozed away to make room for a strip mall, what one thing would I want to remain, to remain forever? Immediately I thought of the Sugarhouse. Yes, the Sugarhouse. Smash everything if you must, but don’t destroy the Sugarhouse. That was my prayer.”

Nicholas Edgwood rides a wave of good karma–a job he excels at, a new girlfriend, and a bright future. When he gets framed for a cyber-crime he did not commit, he must run for his life while his entire world crumbles around him. Betrayal and murder replace peace and hope as he finds himself in unfamiliar territory. He may not be the biggest and baddest guy out there, but he has skills, the kind garnered from a career steeped in computers and code. Now he must leverage these skills to their fullest to stay above ground and breathing. It will take all of his talent, and courage he may not have, just to survive.

Brought to you by www.thesportsstuff.com, “The Crossover” is a combination of Knicks and Nets talk rolled into one disjointed package. Co-hosts Rusty & PMAC, two mad Aussie hoops junkies and fans of Nets and Knicks basketball respectively, give you game recaps, news and previews mixed in with smack-talk, random player abuse and sometimes even the odd bit of manlove. “The Crossover” is truly a no holds barred take on NY/NJ basketball.

ReJOYCE! To commemorate James Joyce’s mighty novel, Ulysses, we’re launching a podcast. Every week you’ll find a five-minute mini-essay from me designed to take you through the novel that’s on every list of the greatest books ever written. And as Ulysses runs to some 375,000 words, and I mean to go through it sentence by sentence if I have to, in order to convey the full brilliance of this novel – and the enjoyment to be had from it – I’ll be podcasting for some time to come! It’s such an absorbing book, it’s got diamond mines of references, it’s so compassionate, so tender, so moving, so funny – and most of us never know that, because most of us have long been daunted by it. No need to be afraid any more – that is, if you make a habit of listening to these podcasts.

The RDA Propaganda episode! But first, the usual problems: many of the cast didn’t prepare for our scheduled discussions (RDA: Villains or not, Avatar versus Star Trek, Economics of Unobtanium, and Human Return to Pandora–which has been slated since January) and so they just weren’t ready to talk about it. Therefore the discussions sounded like CRAP, and got scrapped. We did include Avatar versus Star Trek, only because Judy saved the day by derailing us to yap about something called “Topless Robot.” And of course **my** expensive podcast microphone refused to work because some idiot (me) didn’t do a mic/equipment/software compatibility check. So Avatar versus Star Trek has sound quality issues as well as generally being less than stellar. Okay, so now the good news: LOTS and LOTS of fun on Pandora–and finally an episode under an hour. This one clocks in at 27 minutes, with the usual bloopers (from “episode zero”) at the end, and the most evilest song ever to be sung. Also, to any Star Trek fans out there: we are just making fun of Star Trek (um… duh, it’s an AVATAR podcast, not a Star Trek one), but know that I loved the original series, and the new movie (the reboot). It is all kinds of fun. So, on with the show, and future episodes will be forthcoming, smaller, leaner, and hopefully have better sound quality :-p Ping services

YOUNG JAMES FROST just knows, deep in his bones, that he’s a writer. He writes far into early mornings, after his wearying hours of scrubbing toilets and sweeping floors. He loves writing that much. But it’s not only the joy of words that keeps him grinding; it’s his desire to retire the janitor’s mop. He sees being published as the key to living an improved life. James has another deep-seated conviction: that he’s not good enough. He secretly longs to be accepted. However, the conventional others in his life seem all too willing to remind him that he’s wasting his time. Then he meets and falls in love with Leigh, the one bright spot in his endless misery of self-doubt. A quiet but resolutely religious girl, she has to fight off disapproval of her own from overly critical parents, whose insults are countered by James’s often-voiced admiration of her. Likewise, Leigh’s faith in his talents begins to build his confidence, eventually allowing her to introduce him to a different way to help himself: relying on God. Ultimately, James’s newfound faith is sorely tested to the point of doubt when his dream to be published seems to melt into a mirage, smothered by countless rejection slips from agents and publishers. His faith is also battered by having to fight highly emotional battles and suffer fear and loss. Just when James appears hopelessly sapped by devastating events, one last door opens, and he’s rocked by an epiphany. UNCONVENTIONAL is designed to inspire readers to reach for their dreams.
