LIKE A BAT OUT OF BROOKLYN

So... I've changed the name of my blog. Whereas formerly it was just about my first novel I published "THE BLACK ALBUM: A Hollywood Horror Story," it will now be about my life in Hollywood, as well as, the new novels I am coming out with and my road to exposing them to an audience. 

I hope everyone enjoys this blog and finds it entertaining and informative. I've been in Hollywood a long time, first as a successful movie stuntman, then as a struggling writer.

I've made a lot of mistakes. But then again, who hasn't?

I've followed an unusual path. But at least it was my own. Would I change some things if I could go back? Of course I would. But you can never go home again.

Why the title "Like a Bat Out of Brooklyn?" Many of you who've been to New York in recent years probably think, Brooklyn is a really cool place. They have vegan restaurants, brownstones, hip upwardly mobile people, but the Brooklyn I grew up in wasn't like that. The Brooklyn I grew up in was a dark, dangerous place. When I think of Brooklyn, images of Walter Hill's iconic "THE WARRIORS" movie comes to mind. It was a world full of predators. 

I ran and fought my way out of Brooklyn. It made me tough. Gave me a thick enough skin to deal in Hollywood and not lose my mind. 

Like a bat out of Hell! Like a bat out of Brooklyn. Take your pick.
