About meborn in va, raised in nc, i was a sensitive, creative, dorky kid with a alarmingly normal upbringing devoid of tragedy. i played in the band geezer lake from 1990-1997. that was awesome. lived in boston 1997-2005. played in the band gladiola for a year or so. good times. then dover, new hampshire for two years. awesome. and now i find myself back in north carolina. perfect.
i always have lip balm in my pocket. i usually am in the process of reading 2 or 3 books. i can muti-task like a motherfucker. when flying i prefer to sit in an aisle seat close to the front. i read at least 1 newspaper daily. i can keep a secret. i love to write. i have too many ideas and not enough gumption. i think we could all use a good dose of shame. i have one scar and no tattoos. i am not fond of public displays of religion or affection. i like to listen to people's conversations in public. i only tuck in my shirt or wear a tie at weddings or funerals. i buy books faster than i can read them. i always prefer low lighting. i think many problems could be solved if we could all just embrace moderation. when i find a note on the ground i have to pick it up and read it and sometimes i will save it. in a world without consequences i would sit down and eat a cinnabon like it were a filet mignon. i like old logos, designs, ads, and architecture. sometimes i think about how i will never get to read all the books and see all the movies and listen to all the music and see all the places that i want to before i die and that makes me anxious. when i am sitting in a meeting i feel like i am in some sort of hell.

Was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Saw you liked Paris Trout, and thought you might like my novel since it's also southern and a bit dark (in the same vein as Paris Trout). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:
