    Bill Russo

    Bill Russo had lived in an area of Massachusetts called the Bridgewater Triangle for many years and never knew that it was said to be inhabited by scary swamp creatures until he met one. It happened on a midnight walk. Years later, two film producers read his blog about it and featured him and his story in their documentary, The Bridgewater Triangle. He also was approached by Discovery channel producers and was featured in the opening segment of Monsters and Mysteries in America - Season two, Episode two. Among his work, are two anthologies featuring the Bridgewater Triangle Universe. One is strictly fiction and the other contains his account of meeting the swamp creature - plus other stories from New England. As a disc jockey, he was the first person to play and promote the trucking classic "Tombstone Every Mile". He counted as a friend, the first man to cross the musical color line, in a 1940s Jazz Band. The "Human Jukebox", who opened for both Elvis and Roy Orbison, was a neighbor of his. Stories of these and other artists are included in "Crossing the Musical Color Line". Bill's background for writing comes from a Boston education at the venerable white shirt & tie, Huntington School for Boys. He followed that up with a study of journalism, music, and broadcasting at the famed Kenmore Square institution, Grahm Jr. College, where he said he learned more about music from an African American gentleman who was the school's janitor, than he ever could in a classroom. He introduced me to Gloria Lynne, Bill said. Years after he learned of her, she had a mega hit with I Wish You Love. One of Grahm's well known graduates was performance artist Andy Kaufman who created his Taxi TV character Latka while at Grahm. Andy also claimed he learned Transcendental Meditation at Grahm, although it was not taught there. But who knows? It could be true. Bill Russo learned music from the Janitor. Maybe someone in bookkeeping was a guru and gave Andy the secrets of TM. At various times during his career, Russo was a New England Newspaper Editor, a Disc Jockey, and a Radio newswriter and newscaster for a number of stations. He also has had stints as an iron worker, and a low level manager for a major mail order clothing retailer. One of his favorite jobs was partnering with Bill Barry, the inventor of a jewelry polish called Clear Bright n Shiny. The 'Bills' as they called themselves toured New England selling the cleaning product in demo shows in BJ's Wholesale Clubs. Long before the TV program Shark Tank, they auditioned for a late night TV infomercial company and beat out a huge number of other entrepreneurs for a chance to have the product pitched on late night TV. The highlight of that competition, Bill said, was that we got to sit in Billy Mays chair! And some people said we were better at pitching than Billy himself." The late Billy Mays was a highly paid pitchman for dozens of products featured on televised infomercials.

      My Thanks to the writers of The Creative Exiles and Hubpages where much of my work has appeared and to the major online retailers where my books (especially The Creature From the Bridgewater Triangle and Ghosts of Cape Cod have found a comfortable home.

      I recommend both of the above referenced websites for anyone wishing to read fresh and interesting works as well as for those who wish to gain valuable literary advice and engage in conversations with skilled authors from every part of the globe.

      Chapter One: Cutting Through the Myths & Prejudices

      It’s not for everyone this vegan thing. And it’s not a diet. It is a lifestyle. If you are certain that going ‘green’ will leave a huge hole in the middle of your plate that cannot ever be filled, then the ‘V’ is probably not for you. Please just turn around and leave the book.

      For those of you who stayed, let’s say again. This is not for everybody. Judging by its definition, even the dictionary looks down on vegetarians.

      Here’s what the popular online portal, Dictionary.com lists for the word, vegetarian:

      A person who does not eat or does not believe in eating meat, fish, fowl…..but subsists on vegetables, fruits, nuts, grain, etc.

      In case you missed it, I will point out the word ‘subsists’ in the definition. Subsist means to exist, but the connotation of the word conjures up images of abstinence and malnutrition. So, in essence, Dictionary.com is calling Vegetarianism,
