News

"My latest book, Flapper and the Captain and Other Flights of Fancy" is published and available for purchase on Amazon.com.

Exciting News! I am working with Red Penguin Books on publishing a new book which will be a collection of the short stories, poems, and essays I wrote during the COVID-19 Pandemic along with some earlier works. I anticipate a release later this summer or early in fall.

Added interview from The Long Island Breakfast Club Show, 2025 Season, Episode 7. I talk a bit about writing and my book.

Red Penguin Books continues to work with third party arbitrators representing publishing companies to restore removed books to Amazon.com. In the interim, many of the previous Red Penguin Collection anthologies as well as other books published by Red Penguin Books (to include my memoir) are currently unavailable on Amazon.com. We hope this situation will be resolved in the near future. Until then, my memoir, "Quest: My Journey Through La Mancha," continues to be available on the Barnes & Noble website for those wishing to purchase the paperback as well as through other sources for those preferring an electronic version of the book. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Red Penguin Books is working with Amazon.com to restore previously published books on the website. Resolution of this issue is taking longer than expected as the issues has affected numerous publishing houses. Red Penguin Books is engaged with with The Independent Book Publishers Association as well as The Alliance for Independent Authors for complete reinstatement of all books and restoration of reviews. Newer books are successfully being populated on Amazon. The previous works were erroneously removed by Amazon during a purge designed to reduce book piracy and copyright violations.

Red Penguin Books are temporarily offline on Amazon.com but the publisher is working with Amazon to restore listings. In the meantime, "Quest: My Journey Through La Mancha" and the Red Penguin Collection anthologies remain available on the Barnes & Noble website. I apologize for the inconvenience and will advise you when Amazon ordering has been restored.
