franQ in the (347)

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This post was written by guest blogger Frank Anthony Polito.)

I've decided I should probably tell you a little bit about myself, other than the fact that I'm the author of the soon-to-be publised novel, BAND FAGS! (Kensington Books, June 2008).

I'm typing at you from Park Slope, Brooklyn, where I live with my partner, Craig Bentley, a talented actor (and I'm not just saying that!) I've known since our undergrad days at "the live at home college," Wayne State University in Detroit, MI.


Which leads me to how I've come to know our dear, Kenneth in the (212)...


About a year ago (this week, I believe), I came across Kenneth's blog via a post/link on Towleroad. It turned out that KW is also an ex-Detroiter, though he abanoned the Motor City at the ripe old age of something like 10, for the Arizona desert. I shot him an email, introducing myself, and invited him to coffee in order to pick his brain on how I might go about furthering my budding writing career...

We hit it off, discovering that we grew up in cities that border each other (I, in Hazel Park, aka "Hazeltucky" and KW in Madison Heights). We also learned that we even shared the same dentist, Dr. Lenzi, (across from Universal Mall on Dequindre near 12 Mile--as in four miles north of 8 Mile, as in Eminem).

Fast forward 360-some odd days later and here we are! (I know, so where are the hot guys?)
