McCreesh Carries Freight

McCreesh shoulders Freight and likes what he carries:

"...the kind of book we might've seen from Brautigan had he written a choose-your-own-adventure book and, of course, stayed sober. It's got all the inventiveness and charm of a Brautigan, but the center of it never comes apart. It's an insightful rumination on the things we carry, and how those things impact our lives."

Basking in the Glow of Tanzer

rest stop chair is good

Ben Tanzer, author of My Father's House, wrote some very kind words recently about Barry Graham's Nothing or Next to Nothing, Harry Potter, and my novel Freight. Here's a snippet:

"...Freight, a novel that reflects Bosworth's ongoing search for answers, completeness and love, and yes as always the Bosworth is love."

Read the entire swirl HERE.

Also, in truly awesome Tanzer fashion, he's hosting a giveaway of my novel as well. Learn more HERE. However, you'll have to move quickly because he's picking a winner today. WHOOT!

Big thanks, Ben.

The Rhythm is Gonna Get You

Over at OA, Jason Behrends reviews my novel Freight. Here's a snippet:

"The way Mel describes this freight is so physical, so real, so vivid that you can also begin to feel the weight, the movement, the churning of the bits and pieces of our past loves, hates, tears, and smiles. This book allows you to attempt to quantify your baggage."

Read the entire review HERE. Very big thanks to Jason & Orange Alert. Also, check out this recent post about Lollapalooza 2011 HERE.

Three Smashing Gentlemen & A Plastic Wrestler

Hosho McCreesh wants you to get some. He wants you to get some McCreesh. And I for one think you should. The Pushcart and Best-of-the-Web nominee and author of For All These Wretched, Beautiful, & Insignificant Things So Uselessly & Carelessly Destroyed... is smashing things up Ebook-style.

Also smashing things up is Pablo D'Stair, founder of Brown Paper Publishing and KUBOA and curator of The Predicate Dialogues. In true Pablo form, he is smashing things up free-style. Click HERE to learn more.

Lastly, I've been sending out blurb copies & thank you copies & review copies of my novel FREIGHT. Kevin Murphy of Dark Sky Magazine & Books took a great picture of my novel with his favorite toy. I just wanted to share. Because it makes me smile.
