THE MOVIE IS OUT!!!

I am thrilled to present the book video trailer for "Blows to the Head: How Boxing Changed My Mind" -- designer Bill Brown of Madison, CT, hit the ground running and produced a marvelous, concise, moving 2 minute trailer. I am so grateful to him; I hope you will visit Bill's website and send him praise! And if you are so inclined, send the YouTube around so that as many people can see it as possible. A little bit of that "internet excitement!!"

Had a great time reading "in the ring" at the Hartford Club yesterday, as part of a benefit for CT Young Writers. John Spehar of Fighting Fitness graciously "escorted" me into the ring! I was blown away by award-winning poet Gaby Calvocoressi, reading epic boxing poetry, powerful and full of yearning, from her book "Apocalyptic Swing" - out now.
