  • Functionally Literate

    (Hope to see you there! Super-stoked about this, especially because it might very well be the last reading at Urban ReThink. So come. Be part of history.)

  • Clutter Returns

    If you’re an avid reader of All Things Holic (there might be someone out there who fits under this description…maybe? seriously, does anyone want to step up and be a Holic-aholic?), you might have noticed that my serialized graphic novel “Clutter” went on hiatus sometime last Fall. It’s okay. Don’t worry. The project wasn’t abandoned.…

  • The Adventures of an Elderly Couple…

    With all the hoopla surrounding my book release, I forgot to post this quick writing update a few weeks back. My story, “The Adventures of an Elderly Couple Unseen  in the Avengers,” appears in the awesome magazine Barrelhouse, as part of their online superhero issue. This story is part of an ongoing collection of fictions…

  • Marketing My Writing Part IV: Blurbs

    It is with great pride that I submit to you the following statements about American Fraternity Man, written by authors for whom I have tremendous  respect: The culture of Greek life is both skewered and embraced in this take-no-prisoners coming of age novel from debut author Nathan Holic. Here, you’ll meet one character who has reached the conclusion that…

  • The Drunken Odyssey

    Just prior to my book release party this past Saturday, I sat down with John King, host of the literary/writing life podcast “The Drunken Odyssey.” It’s a fun conversation.

  • Goodreads

    American Fraternity Man is now on Goodreads. Help a brother out, and add it to your “want to read” or “currently reading” (or whatever) shelves. And whenever you’re finished, just give it a little rating and/or review. There are a few things that make me truly sad in this world: an empty playground in the…

  • Release Party

      Be there.

  • Marketing My Writing: Part II

    The following is the second essay in a series (that I might or might not continue to write) exploring my own curiosity and dread at having to market my first novel. “Like-Watching,” and Facebook Givers/Takers Back in the day, there seemed to be only one real use for Facebook: the term “social networking” was broad,…

  • Daddy Cool

    Just got my copy of Daddy Cool in the mail. What’s Daddy Cool? It’s an anthology of writing by fathers…for and about kids. It’s an interesting book, edited by Ben Tanzer (who’s got two other books about fatherhood that are in the publication pipeline), and it represents a trend that I hope will continue: an…

  • Marketing My Writing: Part 1

    The following is the first essay in a series (that I might or might not continue to write) exploring my own curiosity and dread at having to market my first novel. “Facebook Anxiety” Every time that I hear of someone deactivating or deleting their Facebook profile, I give a silent “whoo-hoo!” and/or “you go, girl!”…
