CUBA: The Handsomest Man in Cyberspace

Image
The Handsomest Man in Cuba is now available as a Google e-book .  UPDATE: The rights for the Handsomest Man in Cuba have been reverted back to me. That means the e-book has been decommissioned. You can still easily get hold of copies on Amazon for next to zip, lucky you! Watch this space for talking book (in my alarming Aussie accent) and a new kind of e-book with input from YOU, dear reader!  +++ If you want it for your e-reader, it looks like you can read 50 pages for free, and then there's a link to it in my lemonade stand . I'm not sure if the color photos are included. But now, you can save a tree (well at least, a fully-formed one). If you're an American, you can read it without the cover arousing suspicion! You can also read 3 chapters on my handsomest webpage on Cuba www.handsomestmanincuba.com Thank you in advance for purchasing it and supporting people who write things - careful, you might encourage us to write some more!

I lost all power, water, heat internet and a bunch of stuff in the freezer for a week - I was one of the lucky ones. Below is my image chronicle of a week in the life of a New York hurricane, as seen from the Chelsea neighborhood (Zone 1/2) - neither severely endangered nor unaffected, but somewhere in between. Below that, the text of my op-ed piece for DelawareOnline.com Sat 10/27: This is the view of the sky in Connecticut, about an hour north of NYC, the day before Sandy hit the east coast.
