The Daily (or whenever) Eruption

Public Displays of Perfidy: Tuesday 2/25/2020

Every time I’ve been interviewed on TV as an author and publisher, I’ve cringed upon viewing the finished product. Methinks I don’t look good, don’t talk good, and my watery eyes wander—in short, Mr Malaprop meets Mr. Magoo. But whatever; it is what it is, and I am who I am, so get over it, I tell myself.

And so I do, and so it happens again. But thankfully, my recent bid for media fame went a bit better this time. In January, I was interviewed by producer/host Kameel Nasr on Cambridge Community TV for his show New England Authors. Every so often, Nasr puts out conversations with fiction and nonfiction writers, scientists, humanitarians, physicians and other local notables. On this occasion, he quizzed me for 20 minutes about the genesis of my novel Turkey Shoot, the motivations of its protagonists, and by extension my own. We also touched upon the sequel I’m writing. (See below.)

About Progressive Pilgrim

The pilgrims plod toward salvation, lords, ladies, knaves and fools, dogs of doubt nipping at their heels, peeps becoming perps by the time the journey is over and the dogs are dead.

Sometimes you're a peep, one of the gang, taking it all in. Other times you're a perp, taking action, nudging reality for better or worse.

On this site you'll find stories, mostly about perps, some true others imagined. Just like life, by turn reflective, reactive, rewarding, and ridiculous.

Explore. Read. Comment. Enjoy.
