Hello from NYC

Profpic.jpg

My first name is Thomas.

I have lived in Queens, New York my entire life, but there are plenty of places I could call home.

Physics mandates I be in one place at a time, but time has taken me many places the world over: New York, San Francisco, San Jose, Salinas, London, Bath, Dublin, Barcelona, Rome, Naples. I am a city mouse who yearns for a country mile to call home.

The printing press, commercial air travel and indoor plumbing are the three most influential human inventions to date. But what do I know? I am a writer, born with parasitic travel worms that often lead to an irritable bowel. Maybe I'm biased.

Before you ask:

Current book list (just read or in progress):

A Life Worth Living: Albert Camus and the Quest for Meaning by Robert Zaretsky
Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter
Blasphemy by Sherman Alexie

All time favorites:

The Green Mile by Steven King
Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain
Pierre by Herman Melville
Beowulf [translated] by Seamus Heaney

I am here on steemit for many reasons. Most importantly as an author looking for help to publish my first book. I have an account with IngramSpark, but have yet to utilize the platform because of some difficulty properly formatting my manuscript.

The title of my collection of short stories is I Think I Can.

Can anyone help?

Welcome. Is the book about Camus good?

Hi and thanks! I have only read the book once before. From what I remember, it is a fantastic exploration of history, philosophy and the author of the book, Robert Zaretsky, aims to distill hope from the writings and life of Albert Camus. In my opinion, Camus was different, not dangerous. Somehow, even today the two terms, "different" and "dangerous" are too often conflated.

@wrldwyze welcome to steemit. great introduction. look forward to reading more posts from you
