My words will come to life on Wednesday, May 23 and Wednesday, May 30 when The Studio Stage in Whiting, NJ presents Little Footsteps at Bramson Manor, a murder mystery penned by yours truly. The talented cast are going to deliver a sharp, fun mystery when they tell the story of five potential buyers touring an English country manor, a tour that goes awry when one of them is murdered. Follow the group on Facebook, especially since you may be seeing more of my work on their stage in the days to come. Tickets are just $25 and include a full meal — and of course, a great performance of a smart, snappy script (if I do say so myself). Hope to see you there!

The following is excerpted from my book Lakehurst: Barrens, Blimps and Barons. Seventy-five years ago today, fire rained down from the sky when the great airship Hindenburg exploded into a ball of flame over Lakehurst on May 6, 1937, in the process leaving an unforgettable mark on history. To this day, it remains the largest vessel ever to take to the skies. It was over 800 feet long; as long as two football fields and the majority of a third. Despite its stunning bulk, it routinely made the flight from Germany to Lakehurst, NJ in a mere two days while carrying scores of passengers. The Hindenburg was a Nazi vessel, constructed by the Germans in 1935 as the crowning jewel of its vast fleet of zeppelins. From the very start…

Drop by the community center in Lakehurst on Sunday between 1 and 4 p.m., where I’ll be signing copies of Lakehurst: Barrens, Blimps and Barons (find out more about the book here), as well as selling limited quantities of this and other books. I’ll have a table there as part of the Historical Society’s recognition of the 75th Anniversary of the Hindenburg disaster. The community center is located on Center Street, right there by the McDonald’s on Route 70, across from the Historical Society museum at 300 Center Street. It’s in the old firehouse. Whether you’re an old friend or just someone interested in the book, I’d love to see you. Sadly, book quantities will be limited, so if you’re interested in buying a copy…

This short piece sprang from a title an online acquaintance threw at me, one I thought he had made up. The title was so evocative, I immediately got a vision in my head of a little girl and … well, you can read it below. The problem? He hadn’t made it up. That was a poor assumption on my part. The title was The Girl, the Gold Watch, and Everything, and it belongs to a book I did not know existed. Regardless, it inspired this short piece of fiction that will maybe one day turn into a full-blown book. With a new title, of course… The Girl and the Gold Watch By Eric San Juan “You know I haven’t the money for that, Sissy. Put…

I’ll be the first to admit that A Year of Hitchcock is not a cheap book. The (gorgeous) hardcover runs $40 to $50. Yeah, I’d love for you to buy one, but it’s not a small investment so I understand if you don’t. However, good news. Kindle version. And Nook version. And… It’s just $9.99. Yep, ten clams. That’s cheap. The book rocks. You should get it.
