When we interviewed western author Peter Brandvold on Neighborhood Bookstore podcast, I wanted to dispel any myths about what kind of person writes westerns. Pete has been posting about his favorite Christmas stories, and his picks are toothy, poignant, and unexpected. Pictured: F***y & Alexander by Ingmar Bergman, A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote, and Albert Finney at Scrooge. Link to podcast interview in comments!

Lit Youngstown’s intensive courses are a blast. I took part in the fiction writing workshop earlier this year and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. If you’re a poet or poetry enthusiast, I definitely recommend this one. And you’ll have a chapbook at the end!

Registration for Lit Youngstown's fourth annual writing intensives is now open. For more information visit lityoungstown.org/current-workshops

Congratulations to, Craig, my cohost of Neighborhood Bookstore podcast! His used bookstore, POP Art Books Culture, was voted Readers #1 Choice for the 2nd year in a row by the local paper! If you haven’t checked out the shop, you don’t know what you’re missing. Craig has a wondrous variety of used books, art, and so much more. Drop in or visit the link in the comments. 

YOU LIKE US! YOU REALLY LIKE US!

POP! is humbled and honored to be The Vindicator Readers' Choice Best Bookstore for 2024. We topped 7 other Mahoning Valley businesses for our second consecutive 1st place win!

Thank you all!

This is a heartbreaker. I met Tony Todd (The Candyman) twice and worked with him once. He was a gentle man, a professional, a class act, and a generous spirit. It might be my favorite day on set, and he had nothing but time for all the nobodies like me. If I could work with one star again, it would be him.

Well this sounds like a must-listen. TWO of the amazing guest authors we had in season one of Neighborhood Bookstore podcast appear TOGETHER on Jim Fusilli’s show. James Grady and David Morrell discuss their extraordinary writing careers. I’ll definitely check this out.
