Hi back!

Yes, we sure are interested. Thanks! I'll add it to our shelf and I'll add you to our ...rogue's gallery! heh

Maybe you'd be interested in doing a mini-interview, q&a session, something like that? Not sure when..just doing a little advance planning...


Gregory R. (xmastime) | 4 comments Great, thanks! Hope you like it, and of course I'll be more than happy to do any interviews/q&a etc. :)

Super. Will keep you in mind. Congratulations on your novel!

What I did just now was...

added it to the group bookshelf:
https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
added it to our 'new titles' thread:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
added your name to our 'new authors' thread:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Now, your Goodreads author page isn't fully filled out yet (I see) so I guessed at the way you wanted things.

Please take a look and let me know that it suits you!

cheers
Feliks


Gregory R. (xmastime) | 4 comments wow, Feliks thanks so much! I'll check into my author page.

Also, while I lived in Williamsburg for 15 years, I moved away in 2012 and am now in DC...but I miss Brooklyn every day :(

thanks again! :)

That still counts as a 'Brooklyn-influenced' author, as I see it. cheers

The only other Williamsburg centered book I have read is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith . Quite the shoes to fill, but good luck.

Hallo all

Williamsburg, Brooklyn (although a locus of detestable filth in our era, a veritable sphincter) actually has plenty of pedigree in terms of authors and author's upbringings. Some of the best in the USA.

I'm sure I'm not even the man to detail the entails of such. Perhaps someone else can chime in.

Remember that, if Brooklyn were its own city, it would be something like 6th most dense populated in the nation.

But the real question is: what is 'density' anymore? If everyone exists in their own 2" virtual smart - gadget world, do we truly inhabit the same space anymore?

I just published a historical fiction about 1969 South Brooklyn within a Polish Catholic community. I thought some of you might have an interest.
