I am a writer and self-involved artist who’s lived in London and Honolulu, and a dozen places in-between. I’ve also traveled around the world, and some of my artwork has been purchased by collectors.

I used to write screenplays and have won numerous awards for them...despite none being produced. That’s how "A Place of Safety" began life—as an idea for one, twenty-five years ago. But it deepened and expanded and changed direction and became the life of an Irish Catholic boy during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. I’m currently working on a gothic horror novel dealing with an ancient tale of harpies that live in the caves of the Cliffs of Moher, on Ireland’s far west coast.

In my writing, I’ve tried to build characters as vivid and real as pos

Almost back to where I belong...

Finished packing that library. 41 boxes holding 2073 very small books. Mostly pamphlet-sized. I was expecting much larger volumes...but this is good. Tomorrow is the pickup and I return to Buffalo. Then another light job on Monday and I can settle back into my nothing routine.

I had an interesting thought come up, today. Putting BA-4 aside and working up another coloring book. Call it Demented

Kyle Sullivan Seen this admission from Amazon? They admit to hurting authors and their customers in an attempt to force the 5th largest publisher in the world agree to their terms.

www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2014/05/...

And what's their attitude? "You don't like it? Buy the book elsewhere."


message 5: by Kyle

Kyle Sullivan Been away from my page for too long, thanks to family turmoil and crap about my books and general laziness.

FYI -- I'm having "How To Rape A Straight Guy", "Porno Manifesto", and both volumes of "Rape In Holding Cell 6" withdrawn from circulation. I plan to reintroduce them, next year, under my own banner and as far away from Amazon as I can get. "Bobby Carapisi" will also be reissued in a better format.

On top of this, I need to finish a mystery I'm working on that's been taking too long...and get back to work on a novel set in Northern Ireland between 1966 and 1981.

And I will read more. I'm in the middle of "The Dubliner" series of stories by James Joyce. Lovely vignettes in an amazing voice.

Guess these are my New Year's Resolutions.

Kyle Sullivan Word to one and all -- Amazon's on a censorship tear, again. They're dropping books from Kindle that might depict rape, S&M, and incest in positive terms.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-...

"How To Rape A Straight Guy" is not available in Kindle, in the US, and not at all in the UK. It seems they're focused on the little guys -- small publishing houses and self-published works -- so if you can't find a book you want, that's probably why.

But "50 Shades of Crap" (the rip-off of "9 1/2 Weeks") is still up and running. Of course.
