Has It Been That Long?

So, it’s been a month since I’ve posted in this space.  This seems weird to me, since I’ve been writing stuff pretty much every day for The Cincinnati Man and tending to the writing of others over there.  This isn’t necessarily the sort of thing that I studied for in college, but I’ve gotta say, [...]

Here’s That Big News

Remember all that talk about stopping the blogging at this space, moving stuff around, and all that?  Good; you’ve been paying attention.  Today is the day, people–today is the launch of The Cincinnati Man, an online men’s magazine that I’m running.
The concept is pretty simple: we’re interested in the overall question of what it means [...]

Ding-a-Ling’s Fat Adventure

 If you follow this blog in any way whatsoever, this isn’t surprising to you, but this will be the last beer review on this website.  I’m going to be re-focusing this site back to where it probably would be best served: my own writing.  So I’m closing it out with a special one. 
This isn’t to [...]

The Five Satellites “Read-n-Blurb” Program

Yep.  You saw it here first, folks.  Granted, you saw it here because this is where Five Satellites exists, and I’m the asshole who wrote it.  I’m looking for people to give the book a read and write a quick, 2-or-3-sentence blurb for me to post on the Five Satellites landing page.  Positive, semi-negative, I [...]

So, There’s This Book You Can Read Online…

For those who are new to this website: a while back I wrote a book called Five Satellites.  It’s available online here at this site in the form of a downloadable .pdf.  I invite you to check it out and give it a read.  For the record, the book is about the tour of an [...]

Do You Read Things?

After getting out of high school, I didn’t care much about anything at all except for playing music.  The band I was in around that time put out a few things, played a bunch of shows, and went on tour a few times.  I didn’t, as I probably should have, use those experiences in writing [...]

You Know It’s Got Cusses, Right?

So, I wrote this book about a punk rock band on tour.  If you wish, you can think of it as a road novel, but it’s also about choices and what it takes to sometimes make them.  Or not make them, as the case may be.  Amongst all this, there’s fistfights, sex, a little bit [...]

I Write Things.

The above sentence is something that gets bandied about on this website here and t here, but I don’t often talk about it, other than to say that you can download my novel, Five Satellites from this page.  While that certainly has some function, as this website is partially intended to promote the book, I [...]

Writing Things

I need advice from folks who write. One of the central things about writing is having time to actually perform the act. One of the central things about having a new child is that they are pretty much a complete time drain. Being new at this whole thing, I’ve got this major [...]

Have You Read My Novel Yet?

As some of you probably know, I wrote a novel about a punk rock band on tour called Five Satellites. I’m pretty proud of it and encourage you to give it a read, if you’re interested in reading the best punk rock novel you’ll come across in a long, long time. It’s downloadable [...]

The Book

Hey there, y’all.  This post is just to say that I wrote this book a while back called Five Satellites, and you can read it if you want to. It is probably the best punk rock novel you’ll read in a long time. True, there may not be that much competition, but that’s [...]

For the Few Unaware…

A while back, I wrote this book about a punk rock band on tour.  It’s sort of the reason that this website exists.  In fact, I wrestled for a brief period of time over whether to name the website fivesatellitesdotcom as opposed to jasonmcglonedotcom.  I went with my own name because in the end, I [...]
