It’s been far too long between reviews. While assem­blage art and 3D fun take up my stu­dio time, it’s into the book fray I must once again ven­ture. After three months of search­ing for a venue for my genius — I landed upon an oppor­tu­nity at Blog​Crit​ics​.org. Grabbed that puppy up by the scruff of the neck and slammed a quick write online as soon as I got my accep­tance email from Eric Olsen. See… it’s karma. Hav­ing son-​in-​law Olsen and all them grand­babes as lit­tle Olsens run­ning around, as well as vis­it­ing my favorite crusty Nor­we­gian this very day, I knew Eric and The Assem­blag­ist were headed for a fruit­ful union.

Here it is. A link to my vir­gin post on Blog­Crit­ics. Please take a moment to val­i­date my exis­tence by read­ing or even by com­ment­ing. Thanks.

A review of Joseph Finder’s newest book, Van­ished on BlogCritics.

Face­book mes­mer­izes me and there I stay for too long in the a.m.‘s. Now it’s time to be pro­duc­tive, as pre­vi­ously stated. When I received Joseph Finder’s lat­est novel, the thriller “Van­ished”, it cat­a­pulted me back into writ­ing reviews. Thanks, Joe, for send­ing me a copy hot off the presses. You jump started my favorite past­time, read­ing and writ­ing about what I am reading.

The for­mat for enter­ing data to Blog​Crit​ics​.org is a bit tricky. This first arti­cle lacks the teaser, I sup­pose it was deleted dur­ing my many fubarrs when I incor­rectly saved my writ­ing. I’m way too old to make the kind of ama­teur mis­takes hap­pen­ing today. First off, I wrote the review in the damn web­site win­dow, not in OpenOf­fice with a copy/​paste finesse. Oh no, I wrote it online and lost it twice. Los­ing my words did not make them bet­ter the third time around. By then I was just pissed off and deter­mined to post any­thing… so look for vast improve­ment in my next article.
