After two and half years of working on my second book, Organic Hotels, it is finally ready for release. Unlike my first published work which made its debut in the summer of 2003, Organic Hotels is the first collection of work where the voice in each piece is completely mine. I don't borrow anything from other writers in this book. I don't pretend to have a huge love affair with New York, having seen its extreme limitations over the past few years. For those who think NYC is a raw place to live, forget it. It is just as shallow as any other big city you'll find. The yuppies have moved in and have forced all the artists into the outer boroughs, which is why I write about being a poor writer who is forced to live in an SRO (single room occupancy.) under the reign of a hostile landlord.

The idea of war and its effect on the human psyche is also touched upon in the book as is the art of writing itself. There a few odes to some of my own heroes in the book like Hunter S Thompson and Paul Wellstone.

The book is set to be released Monday 21st. You will able able to purchase it atlulu.com or at ny major book store website.
