I'm Santa!

Hello there! I'm currently the voice of Santa on http://www.Santa.com, go to the Blog and read about Santa's adventures in Hawaii and the mainland. Also, let me know if you want me to post any of my latest prose on this site and I will. I recently was turned down by Booklines Hawaii as far as carrying my book of poems BEFORE THE CITY. Guess poetry just doesn't sell. Check this out--UH Professor Frank Stewart refused to give my Lemon Shark Press a blurb for the book even though he was my first ever poetry prof at UH. The community of writers should be more supportive, especially in Hawaii. When I met Garrett Hongo at the Foothill Writers Conference in Los Altos, California, he mentioned the cliquish nature of the literary community in Honolulu.

p.s. Ask me to post UH Professor Paul Lyons response to my invitation to a boxing match after I told him he helped nix my writing deal with Lyons Press, run by his brother, who just happens to be his publisher!
