Who could resist that, right?

Felix, counseling restraint.

(You see how impressed Felix is with the news).  Oddly, for three weeks in the last month, I was either part of some Internet media project or the featured subject of a story or interview.   Read more below to select the media morsel that most sates your appetite for all things Griff.

Writestream Radio 

A portrait of the author as a young man with another young man who will also be an author.

On the internet radio show created and run by the very talented Daria Anne DiGiovanni, I was guest along with the scary-smart Jamie Wilson (“Five Smokin’ Hot Feet of Conservative Fury”). We had a chance to discuss …

Just in time for Christmas, too!

Oh, wait, I mean, just when you’ve figured out most of the cool features with your new Android-enabled phone, tablet, or mini-tablet; along comes yet another awesome feature.

My first novel, The Big Bang, Volume One of the Lonesome George Chronicles, will be e-published by Liberty Island Media next Spring, 2014.

And work on the website continues, that is, when I’m not completing the revisions of By the Hands of Men, Book Two:  To the Colonies and Beyond.
