Welcome to Newtonberg

Welcome to Newtonberg:

My very first book,Welcome to Newtonberg, has just been released at Smashwords. No vampires, no aliens, just simple stories of small-town life.

“Newtonberg is a small town, buried deep in the Piney Woods of East Texas. There it has stood, relatively unchanged, for over a hundred years; and it will probably stand, relatively unchanged, for a hundred more…”

With these words, David Emprimo invites you to take a glimpse into the daily lives of the citizens of Newtonberg, a southern cousin to Garrison Keillor’s Lake Wobegon and Jan Karon’s Mitford, and one of the last true examples of “small town life” in America.

“A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called “leaves”) imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic.”

Mark Heard - Treasure Of The Broken Land from the album “Satellite Sky” (1992)

Love this song, and love Chagall Guevara’s cover version on the tribute album.

The Onion AV Club reviews THE PRISONER OF HEAVEN

The Onion AV Club reviews THE PRISONER OF HEAVEN:

While this review is much harsher than I would be, it does sum up my conclusion about this book:

“…by the end, the novel just feels like a 318-page trailer for the next book in the series.”

I’d give it a higher grade than they did, but I still want the next book already!

Love, “The Red Telephone”

Reminded again just how brilliant Forever Changes is. It’s hard to pick just one song. It really needs to listened to as a whole.

Jimmy Nail, “Aint No Doubt”

Loved Jimmy Nail in Still Crazy, so I decided to look up his biggest solo hit. This is the danger of me finding songs I’ve never heard before. Right now it’s on its sixth repeat and will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. I don’t think I really mind.

Mister Rogers remixed, “Garden of Your Mind”

Life was so much simpler back when Mister Rogers was part of my day. I can’t help but think he would have totally enjoyed this.

Incredible Moses Leroy, “Fuzzy”

From Electric Pocket Radio. Former labelmate of Moke. Song is catchy as heck, video is…a little….bizarre. But it was featured on an episode of Scrubs, so that’s cool.

This is EXACTLY how I’m feeling about The Prisoner of Heaven by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. I’ve waited several years for it, and once I finish it, I’ll have to wait for the next one!

Lucie Silvas, “What You’re Made Of”

Today’s earworm, but I really don’t mind this one. Also the French duet of this that she performed with Grégory Lemarchal.

Nirvana, “In Bloom”

For some reason, this is stuck in my head today. First time I’ve seen the video; nice to see that Kurt had a sense of humor.

“The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.”

- Alan Bennett (via wsupmisscamacho)
