A photography exhibition showcasing the work of Gretje Ferguson opens at the Wellesley Free Library for the entire month of May. The title of this exhibit is called “Authors Among Us”. Black-and-white fine art portraits of 15 Massachusetts writers are included in the show. One of them is yours truly.

Next Wednesday, a reception celebrating Ms. Ferguson’s exhibition will be held, free and open to the public as an opportunity to meet the photographer and authors. I’ll be there, too, and if any reader of this blog in the Wellesley area can make this event, I’d love to meet you.

Time: Wednesday, May 9, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.

Place: Wellesley Free Library, Wakelin Room
530 Washington Street
Wellesley, MA

Classic Films and the American Conscience is now available exclusively at Amazon. This ebook is a collection of essays on classic films taken from my blog, "Another Old Movie Blog", which has just marked its fifth anniversary. The book is over 300,000 words, with sections on individuals (like Boris Karloff as Peter Pan on Broadway and on a float in the 1950 Macy's Thanksgiving Parade), on special topics (like Depression Glass), on genres, on the history of the world as Hollywood saw it. The book's opening chapters cover the "series" topics which are among my favorite on the blog, where I match up two or three, or four films and discuss what is alike about them or what together they tell about the subject which unites them.

"Collected Shorts" - a collection of six short stories (two previously unpublished) now available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords.
