Hey all, got something you may be interested in. A few years back, I published a novel that took me quite a long time to write, just about 20 years in fact. It’s called MALINKO, and it’s a thriller about a newlywed couple on a Route 66 honeymoon who stumble onto a mysterious radio show. Inside includes some original charcoal art. I published 1,000 of them and have some left, so thought I would post it here and see if anyone is interested. Cost is $25, but that price includes shipping. Venmo: Rick-Paulas, PayPal: rickpaulas@gmail.com, and include your address. Happy to answer any questions!

Getting there…

Now that it is somewhat springtime (i.e., "walking season") I wanted to let the lovely residents of beautiful Long Island City officially know about The Lady in Greenpoint.

It's a 3-mile walking audio ghost story that interweaves fiction with fact. It starts on the LIC side of the Pulaski Bridge, right across from the Sweetleaf and next to Manetta's. It's a labor of love project I put together 3.5 years ago, and roughly 500 folks have done it so far. It takes you through a winding path of Greenpoint (including two bars, one stop on the G, a few waterfront views) that ends at McGolrick. The whole thing will take you about 3-5 hours, depending on your pace and if you make any stops, and there is also a shortcut that will trim about an hour off it. It's free to do, with a suggested donation of $10.

Oh also, people have left reviews on TripAdvisor if that helps describe it some more: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60827-d25078304-Reviews-The_Lady_in_Greenpoint-Brooklyn_New_York.html

Happy to answer any questions! Thanks for reading!
