So very glad to see you wrote another book, Brian. I thoroughly enjoyed "The Last Bar in NYC"; especially the part clinging to a empty beer keg out on the Hudson and getting rescued by the NYC and/or Coast Guard. HEE-LAIR-EE-US! Your book has stayed with me all these years later because of your exceptionally good writing. Someone in Hollywood, please make that book into a movie?!? You rock, mi Amigo!

Hey Shaun,
You’re making me blush, man, but I’ll take it. Glad "The Last Bar in NYC" still sticks with you. That night? Coast Guard? Nah, it was tugboat guys who were the real heroes. Every last one of them. They didn’t just pull me from the drink—they saved my sanity. I think about that night more than I care to admit, and I owe them everything.
As for the new book, it’s a grand departure from what you might expect. I’ve stepped out of my usual writing world and dove into something a little different—raw romance. It’s about marriage, about the stuff that happens when the magic fades and the skin starts to sag. Women and their battles with biology, and the challenges of modern culture. That’s the polite way of putting it. It’s a romance, sure, but not the Hallmark kind. More like the real, messy, beautiful truth of passion, pain, and the grit of enduring through it all. I know it’s not your usual thing—no bar fights, no late-night dive chaos—but if you’re curious, I’d be happy to send you an ebook copy.
You rock too, mi Amigo.

Dear Brain I was very impressive with your comment 'I don't think the best way to succeed is to *fight* a power that has a clear advantage. It is better to erode and cripple', from the message you left on 'the fire next time' book review in 2017. I want to discover 'erode and cripple' further, any book recommendations?
