Times of Doubt

October 14, 2022 / Scott Varengo / 1 Comment

There are indeed times when I distrust myself, my choices. I look around me and see only evidence of my inadequacy, indeed my own foolishness. I can find not one scrap of a hint of a partial clue that I am worth the ink in my fountain pen. And if at one point or another … Continue reading Times of Doubt

April is My Favorite Month

April 2, 2018 / Scott Varengo / Leave a comment

I have always been a huge fan of the month of April. Not only does it bring April showers, leading, I've been informed, to May flowers, (wait... rain sucks), but it is the month during which I was born, in a New York City hospital which no longer exists. (I suppose some might let loose … Continue reading April is My Favorite Month

What’s Going On?

March 25, 2018 / Scott Varengo / Leave a comment

That is a question that has caused me anxiety in varying degrees throughout my life. A moment of particularly high anxiety occurred during high school when my mom burst into my bedroom while I was in there with my girlfriend. She asked that very question, quite loudly, and I had to assure her that we … Continue reading What’s Going On?

Three is a Mystical Number

February 18, 2018 / Scott Varengo / Leave a comment

Three. A number that throughout the ages has been imbued with symbolic and magical importance. To wit: The Holy Trinity The Three Wisemen Three days in the tomb Three-for-one jelly donuts at Dunkin And that's just in the Christian and the carbohydrates traditions. Here are a few others: The Pythagoreans taught that 3 was the … Continue reading Three is a Mystical Number

All Our Writing Secrets…

January 16, 2018January 17, 2018 / Scott Varengo / Leave a comment

  It's been very cold here in Central New York. I'm talking below zero on a regular basis cold. When it's this cold there are only a few things I enjoy doing, and most of them I can't talk about here. Because they involve things like shoe sales and peel and eat shrimp. I also … Continue reading All Our Writing Secrets…

Dublin Dispatch #4 – A New Year in Dublin

December 30, 2017 / Scott Varengo / Leave a comment

Hello and greetings once again from the House that St. Paddy built! (I don't know if anyone actually calls Ireland that, but it worked for the Yankees with Babe Ruth, so I thought I'd spin it. Probably for the last time.) In my last communique, I told you about all the Christmas fun I was … Continue reading Dublin Dispatch #4 – A New Year in Dublin

Ireland Research Dispatch #2

December 13, 2017December 13, 2017 / Scott Varengo / Leave a comment

Hi! It's your old buddy, S.J.V., writing again from the Emerald Isle, which contrary to what you may believe is not a gentleman's club in Oz, but is a colorful name for Ireland, setting of the upcoming SpyCo novella, Assignment: Dublin. This is day number flrthiflr of my research trip. [Editor's Note: "flrthiflr" is the sound Scott's … Continue reading Ireland Research Dispatch #2

Full-Fledged Announcement

December 12, 2017 / Scott Varengo / Leave a comment

Recently my writing partner Craig A. Hart, who magnanimously opted not to kill me after I leaked certain details about our next book, revealed the cover of said next book, essentially letting me off the hook altogether. Take a look:       Pretty jazzy, huh? Notice anything? If you take a look at any … Continue reading Full-Fledged Announcement

Some Things I Can Tell You…

December 6, 2017 / Scott Varengo / 2 Comments

... others must remain unspoken. What are your talking about, you lunatic? (Don't you just love it when I read your mind and ask the question you were thinking? I'm talking about the conversation that took place earlier today between myself and a certain author from Iowa City, namely my writing partner on the SpyCo … Continue reading Some Things I Can Tell You…

The Joy of Sittin’ In – A Black Friday Announcement

November 24, 2017 / Scott Varengo / Leave a comment

There's a thing that happens sometimes when you go to a bar on open mic night. In general, the guys in the band standing behind that open mic are not super excited. It's a gig, and it pays, but there's a very good chance that they're going to spend the entire night backing up people … Continue reading The Joy of Sittin’ In – A Black Friday Announcement
