I’ve spent the bulk of my adult life working toward the cover reveal today for DON'T FALL IN LOVE: THE SECRET LIVES OF TWO GAY SOLDIERS HIDING IN PLAIN SITE.

I've been shadowing the 2 decorated gay combat soldiers Todd and Steve since Feb 4, 2000.

It’s available for pre-orders everywhere. Cover pic and links at davecullen.com.

Man, I'm really into Shuggie Bain. This guy can write.

I had a rough go through much of Chapter 2 of Shuggie Bain, but found my footing again. On p. 50. Not as refined as John of John, but packed with brilliance.

New giveaway for my very smart friend John Avlon's coming book Theodore Roosevelt's Guide To Life.

Correction: at page 130, if it matters.

A hundred pages into Black Bag, really enjoying it, but seems light, and wondering how it could possibly be a Booker finalist.

Just got more interesting.

I was really turned off by the free audio preview of Black Bag a few months ago, but kept hearing great things, so I tried reading and really enjoyed it. Back to a mix of mostly audio with some print. Really enjoying it now, 54 pages in. Continually eager to pick it back up.

Got my flu shot this weekend, and zero side effects. No brainer: the flu always knocks me on my heals for 3 weeks.

This is the best time of the year to get it for max retention through the season, which kicks off with Thanksgiving, so you want it at least 2 weeks before, so you great your family at full protection.

Enjoying The Line of Beauty, it's a pleasant read, but I'm having difficulty seeing Booker-level work. We'll see. 60% through.
