My book update


Well, I've just completed two sets of letters to send to people across the country regarding my books, and thought I'd copy and paste one of them to share to readers, in case anyone was interested in the following information. Here it is:

I’ve been continually telling myself I would take a nice mental break at some point over the past couple years. However, that hasn’t been the case. Ever since I recovered from my 20-month illness in the early part of 2011, my creative juices have been flowing - perhaps feeling the need to make up for lost time during those 20 months - and I’ve now published five books in the past 15 months (890 pages worth). One landed me on a radio talk show this past August, and I’m hopeful that will occur again at some point this year. The books have included: Two comedies, two political satires, and one of the poetry variety. I also have a nonfiction manuscript completed and am awaiting agent representation for it, am 53 pages into a third political satire, and 16 pages into a satire of the non-political variety.

Also, while I’m still kind of old-fashioned when it comes to reading books (paperbacks), my work has recently been introduced to a brand new market - Kindle. All five of these published books can now be downloaded onto one’s Kindle via Amazon and for a much cheaper price than the paperback versions. The Kind-Hearted Smarta*s (uncensored version); The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck (censored version); Penetrating The Heart Of Life: Ambiguous In Thought, Ambivalent In Feeling; LOL at the GOP; and LOL at the GOP - Volume 2: 47% Awesome 100% of the Time can all be downloaded onto your Kindle for just $2.99 a piece.

If you’d rather go the paperback route, the five before-mentioned books can be found at the following URL and carry with them the following prices:

If you have any problems with that or have any other questions, feel free to e-mail me at CRozniecki@gmail.com and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as I possibly can (that or just comment on this blog and I'll try to respond quickly as well).

Thanks for taking the time to read this and if you do decide to purchase a copy(-ies), I sincerely hope you enjoy it (them). Take care and have a great rest of your winter!

Sincerely,

Me (no, this is not how I signed the actual letters)

Another look at "The Nightly Show" with Larry Wilmore

After its first week, I gave The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore a B+ grade. While I didn't think the show appeared to be perfect by any stretch of the imagination, I also liked the Daily Show  meets Politically Incorrect vibe I got from it, and thought, with the proper adjustments, the show would indeed provide a great fill-in for The Colbert Report . In the show's succeeding weeks, however, I've been less impressed by it and think that if it doesn't make certain adjustments, it could be in jeopardy of losing many long-time viewers of the show's time slot. One major issue I think the show's had to this point is a lack of direction. It's been unable to decide whether it wants to be a comedy show with serious conversation sprinkled in or a serious show with comedy sprinkled in. It's almost as if the show's writers want to give The Nightly Show a Real Time with Bill Maher feel. The problem with that idea or format is the fact Real Time is an hour lon...

My first book review of "Penetrating the Heart of Life: Ambiguous In Thought, Ambivalent In Feeling"

Well, I received my first book review on this poetry-compilation book I completed and published late last year, but have finally gotten around to marketing now. The reviewer gave it 5 out of 5 stars and said: "I enjoyed the poetic journey the writer has taken me on. From darkest days and hopeful optimism to the conclusion of hope realized. The visual images that the poem titled "Room Temperature" elicits, made me think of the song, "Horse With No Name" sung by the band America. In a similar manner, another poem – "Deafening Sigh-lence" reminded me a great deal of Simon & Garfunkel’s song, "The Sound of Silence". There are so many poems in this book that I related to, that I felt a connection to the author and felt that we were traveling on this journey together." http://www.lulu.com/shop/craig-rozniecki/penetrating-the-heart-of-life-ambiguous-in-thought-ambivalent-in-feeling/paperback/product-18677501.html

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...
