Yayyy! NOTES OF A DEAF GAY WRITER: 20 YEARS LATER is out.

Hello:

Last August my 12th book NOTES OF A DEAF GAY WRITER was published in a very limited edition; I'd said then in my blog that I would have an ebook version out. That has come true today.



If you have an iPad, an iPhone, or an iPod touch, please click on this link to Apple's own iBookstore page featuring my book. Others using different ebook readers are welcome to use this link instead.

A brief video trailer in which I talk about the book will be posted on my YouTube page soon.

May everyone have a most warm holiday season!

Best,

Raymond

My poem "Orphans" and its ASL translation ....

Hello everyone!

I've uploaded a video of yours truly performing my poem "Orphans" from my book MUTE. The YouTube link is right here, but you know what's even more awesome? I wrote a piece about how I'd come up with its ASL translation and edited its video for Deaf Echo. Please check it out!

And if you haven't voted yet, PLEASE DO. You've probably heard this from other people, but it's truly very important that you do! Even my hearing service dog helped! Just look at the picture below.

Whoa! MUTE has made it to #6!

Hello all:

I'm a bit breathless with excitement. Amos Lassen, one of the most influential reviewers on Amazon and elsewhere, has chosen my book MUTE as #6 in his list of Top 11 Books of 2010.

I feel so honored and flattered that out of the dozens of titles he's had to have reviewed this year, he'd remembered my book!

Sorry but I *just* had to share!

Gotta shout this out loud! MUTE is on YouTube ...

Hello:

I've been very busy with a lot of projects these days, but at least I was able to finish one in particular: My book MUTE has a new trailer in which I talk about why I wrote it. :) You can check it out on YouTube. It's all subtitled in English for the signing-impaired, of course.

Have lots of exciting news in store, but I will share it as soon as details are confirmed!

Have a great week, all!

Raymond
