Hello Everybody. Welcome to my second column on the Patch website.
If you want to get to know him, his autobiography was released as an e-book on May 27, you can read more about it here.
I’m waiting for it to come out in book form for two reasons. One I own a bookstore. The second reason is because I enjoy holding a book. I’m already on my phone and computer too much. I don’t need to add to that time.
This fundraiser is to help out Holly, Rick’s wife, and his family. At the time of Rick’s death, he had let his life insurance policy lapse because he couldn’t afford it. A writer’s life is one of struggle and Rick’s life was no different.

Stacey and I wanted to help Holly out so we planned this fundraiser, which happens this Saturday at the bookstore. This fundraiser takes place from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. We will have author signings. Fourteen authors are scheduled to appear, including Bill Rockwell, Monica O’Rourke, Brian White, G. Elmer Munson, Stacey Longo, T.T. Zuma, and many more. There will be three different panels (the Horror Movie panel from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., Favorite Books of All Time from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., and Ghosts in the Attic: My Personal Paranormal Experience from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.), giveaways and free food.
There is also going to be a silent auction going on throughout the day until 6 p.m. Over 35 silent auction items will be available to bid on throughout the day, including signed 8x10s of William Shatner, Walter Koenig, and George Takei; handcrafted jewelry; a writer's basket of goodies; a rare Outer Limits figurine; a basket of books; original photography by Linda Orlomoski of Norwich, and many other incredible items. You can see the items here.Please come to this event and have fun. See you there.
