Bob published one novel in that period, working mostly weekends, MR. AND MS. MARKHAM (New American Library, 1974). It was a success but increasingly responsible positions in New York precluded work on a second novel at that time. Recently on the market is the unusual novel entitled CONS FROM THE ROCK. It's about Alcatraz and how one man really did escape - with help from a very famous politician, who was murdered soon thereafter. This story has never been told before in print or film. WHO IS MISTER I?

Bob assumed that the trip might bring out some issues. Home, health, car, weather, and kids. Still, a postcard Christmas in New England with the entire family, with minor stops on the way, was certainly worth the gamble. But the minivan had new tires, new CV boots, new shocks. They would head north on strong wheels. It did lack one option four wheel drive which can be a blessing in northern Vermont in December. But then again they tend to plow the snow up there quite promptly. Weather sho...The trip to A...

Frank Cavallo: October 2007
http://frankcavallo.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Journal of a Weird Fiction Author. Tuesday, October 23, 2007. I just looked at the last post and realized that I haven't written anything for most of October. Obviously I'm a little depressed. Not only did the Yankees collapse in the first round of the playoffs- AGAIN. But it ultimately cost Joe Torre his job. I remember the time before Joe Torre took the reins at Yankee Stadium. It can be summed up in one word: CHAOS. I'm not looking forward to next season. Oh yeah, and I turned 35 a few days ago. This ...

Frank Cavallo: July 2008
http://frankcavallo.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Journal of a Weird Fiction Author. Tuesday, July 15, 2008. I got a kick out of this. Every so often I google "The Lucifer Messiah." I used to do it a lot, during the first six months after it came out. Not nearly as much lately. The great thing about all this "inter-connectivity" these days is that you can find out all kinds of things you never could have known before: who's reading your book, what they think about it, even where they got it. That's what I found today. I suppose I 'd rather be considered...

Frank Cavallo: November 2007
http://frankcavallo.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Journal of a Weird Fiction Author. Sunday, November 18, 2007. I really don’t want to do this. I don’t want to criticize Neil Gaiman. I don’t want to criticize someone who I hold up as something of an idol. A writer whose career is something I aspire to, whose achievements I look to for inspiration. But I will. Neil Gaiman’s Beowulf. 8221; or “. A Roger Zemeckis interpretation of Beowulf. 8221; or even “. Though. If you read it in the original, or listen to it read in the original (as I was forced to ...

Frank Cavallo: The Dreaded Block
http://frankcavallo.blogspot.com/2008/10/dreaded-block.html
Journal of a Weird Fiction Author. Sunday, October 19, 2008. It's happening again. Writer's block. It's no myth. No fantasy. It's very real. And it's got me stuck. I was cruising along, too. I'm approximately halfway through a new manuscript, I had all the major characters established, the plot was moving just as it should and then - boom. Nothing. Every time I've sat down to write for the last few weeks, I haven't been able to muster a word. Not a thing. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Frank Cavallo: Whatever works, I guess
http://frankcavallo.blogspot.com/2008/11/whatever-works-i-guess.html
Journal of a Weird Fiction Author. Tuesday, November 11, 2008. Whatever works, I guess. I'm back. At least my ability to put words together on a page is back, for now. I have no idea how this works. Last month, I couldn't string a sentence together. I'd just stare at the page, coming up with nothing. Nothing. Now, for no apparent reason, the old gray matter is ready to work again. Funny story, we got lost in the woods, near a thick forest area they called "The Wilderness" during the war. At some poin...
