I made my first trip of the year out to Coney Island this past weekend.
I meant to write about it sooner, but certain distractions intervened, including what’s turning out to be a poorly-received movie review. Possibly a bad choice there.

Hey all! I had an amazing experience at the Mermaid Parade and Opening of the Ocean at Coney Island yesterday! Check out my account here or here.
So I got a new phone this weekend. The old one was dying. Battery wouldn’t hold a charge, functions weren’t working as they should, the whole nine yards. So I got a new one. With the trade-in, it hurt a lot less than I thought it would.

There’s a new post up at matthewkeville.com, another excerpt from my novel-in-progress. Or rather, the first half of an excerpt. This one is special: it’s the uncut version of a scene that will need to be seriously trimmed for length when it goes in the book.

The Guardian Cats of New York City: The Watcher On The Shore Is Back!
The cats keep the ancient bargain.They are still among us, hidden here and there; the cats who remember the Old Compact: you provide a home for us, feed us, take care of us in our illness, and we will protect you from the dangers of the night. They operate below the sight lines of humanity, dealing with dangers that we would never notice until it was too late. They remember the old magics of…
