AS SEEN ON...


Recently, I contributed coverage of the Democratic National Convention for The Huffington Post. Here's a link which links to my report on Denver paranoia, my interview with musician Wayne Kramer (ex-MC5), and my photojournalism.

These are a few of my favorite photos for The Huffington Post, which also reflect the tone of my novel:

A Dragon's Eye View of the Democratic National Convention. (#2)

Invesco Field at Mile High, where the Denver Broncos crack skulls on the gridiron -- and where Senator Barack Obama will accept the Democratic Party's presidential nomination on August 28 in front of 75,000 rabid supporters.

From the novel A Western Capitol Hill:

Hey, this has always been a big sports town. In the 1930s, it wasn’t uncommon for 10,000 people to turn out to watch a softball game in City Park. That was before there was any kind of major league teams based in Denver. And nowhere near the population.

Here, you might spy a Denver Bronco tattoo on the side of a shaved head. A man painted blue and orange, wearing nothing else, roaring up Capitol Hill on his motorcycle. Talk about disgusting: blue and orange cupcakes at the supermarket.

Democratic National Convention vs. A Western Capitol Hill. (#1)

What does my book A Western Capitol Hill have in common with the upcoming 2008 Democratic National Convention?

Well, the setting is the same for both: Denver.

Both concern politics.

And I like to imagine, as well, that my book reflects hope, change and a new vision for the future.

If you elect to buy my novel when it’s published, I promise the economic future will look much, much brighter (for me, at least).

Together, let’s make this happen…

Don’t forget to vote (with your pocketbook) for A Western Capitol Hill.
