Maine Icons

Colorful. Informative. Entertaining. There's much to learn about the local flair of a state rich in history and custom. This fine book is a must read for Mainers and non-Mainers alike.

Look Who's in Today's Boston Globe!

New Pulp Master: Matthew P. Mayo

Maybe you thought I was joking (or missed the post or could give a rodent's arse :) when I mentioned that Matt Mayo and I spent an afternoon discussing Steve Austin and the Sasquatch. Well, Matt doesn't believe in letting a good idea linger because he wrote a story about the hairy man-ape called "Roadside Attraction" appearing in the soon-to-be-released Mondo Sasquatch. Matt is a prolific working writer who can type up several highly entertaining books in the time it takes me to tie my shoes. Here are a few links to some of his work:

Someone to Watch Over Me, BEAT to a PULP #85, July 2010.

Get Teague, Needle: A Magazine of Noir, issue #3, 2010.

Cowboys, Mountain Men & Grizzly Bears, 2010.

Kin, Out of the Gutter #5, 2008.

Maine Icons: 50 Classic Symbols of the Pine Tree State, 2011 (with Jennifer Mayo).

Half a Pig, A Fistful of Legends, 2009. This fine tale was a finalist in the Western Writers of America Spur Awards.

My buddy, Matthew P. Mayo (Needle, Black Horse Westerns, Out of the Gutter), has an interesting interview up at Booklife.

The pic to the right was taken during our famous meeting where Matt revealed himself to be a card-carrying Lee Majors fan.
