A Decade of Gandolfini.com

Wow it's hard to believe 10 years have passed since I created Gandolfini.com with Shade Rupe. Gandolfini.com was my first website and the clean, simple design is timeless. Shade is a huge James Gandolfini fan; now I am too! Gandolfini, best known for his role as mob boss Tony Soprano, is also a versatile actor appearing in several films including In the Loop and The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3.  James is currently starring on Broadway in the 2009 Tony Award Winner "God of Carnage."

I've created numerous websites since Gandolfini.com and am available for new projects.

A SWARM OF FLYING EYEBALLS by Gina Ranalli is a tasty treat! Ranalli does a phenomenal job of turning a seemingly ordinary situation: A group of summer school kids take a trip to a blueberry field, into an extraordinary experience. You'll never think of blueberries the same way again!

Squid Salad Press, a bizzaro imprint of Novello Publishers, serves up a hilarious disclaimer: "Publisher assumes no responsibility for eyeball-twitching or scratching that may occur during the reading or after the reading of this book."

 Publisher[info]nickcato is a riot!

It Pays to Know Your Sushi

So my brother, sister-in-law and I went to a driving range last night because I've always wanted to try Golf and Denise has been playing for a few years.  Just when I started to get the hang of it, a pop-up thunderstorm hit...So we all ran for cover and watched the rain.  20 mintues later, we picked up where we left off.  I really belted a few balls out there!  Afterwards, we headed to a practice green so I could try putting, which takes far more patience than driving.

Afterwards, Andy and Denise treated me to Sushi for dinner!  I was please to see Toro on the menu--Fatty Tuna can be hard to find--when the waiter brought my food, I noticed that there was Octopus where Toro should be, so I politely pointed that out and he alerted the Sushi Chef. 

We were shocked to see the place packed in this economy...

"Amy Grech writes with a powerful mix of emotion and terror, leaving her readers feeling winded yet hungry for more."

--Joel A. Sutherland, Bram Stoker Award-Nominated Author of FROZEN BLOOD

"At times heart-wrenching, at times deeply unpleasant, Amy Grech’s writing leaves you coming back for more. Her stories offer a disturbingly honest peek inside the heart of humanity, and it’s not always a pretty picture."

--Monica J. O'Rourke, author of SUFFER THE FLESH, POISONING EROS (with Wrath James White)

Second Blurb for Blanket of White

  • Jun. 18th, 2009 at 10:37 AM
amy grech, damnation books, blanket of white
"Blanket of White is a collection of short stories that leave the reader fighting an attack of shivers and wondering if, perhaps, there more dreadful truth to the tales than fiction. Sometimes we remember people the way we want to remember them, instead of how they really were. We forget the fear, the horror, the torture, and we remember their beautiful eyes and hair ─ their soft voice. Sometimes we try to justify terror, try to make sense of it. We try to adapt. Sometimes, we manage to convince ourselves that murder can be a loving thing. There is a strong sense of winter in these stories.  Chilling details and coldness pervade the characters and the tales. For the reader these stories leave more questions than answers and readers may find themselves remembering these tales for a long time."

--Sherry Decker, Author of HOOK HOUSE AND OTHER HORRORS
