Someone I know published a book

Neil Kleid, who grew up in Detroit, is having his graphic novel, Brownsville, published. It is available on Amazon for preordering, and will be in stores, according to his older brother, later this month.

Neil has been talking about this book for at least the last year or so, whenever he comes home to visit his family, and it is cool to hear about something which he told me about so long ago finally coming to fruition.

It is a 200-page, hardcover graphic novel. And even though I have never read a graphic novel before, I think I am going to read this one. Or wait until it becomes a movie.

From what I remember him telling me, it is the story of a Jewish Gangster in early 20th century New York. The cover art, which you can see here, looks really well done.

Oh, and Neil's brother is an original member of the Monday Night Football BBQ club, and has gone on the last two drive a thons.

SHAMELESS DRIVE A THON PLUG - Drive A Thon IV, my last Drive A Thon before moving to Israel, will be taking place on the second Wednesday in June. Money raised will probably go to Hazon Yeshayah, like last year. Last year we raised about $3000 with the Drive A Thon, and are hoping to do just as well this year.

Of course, more info to come on the Drive A Thon as we get closer to leaving.
