He’s the author of Salinger in the Rye—an Amazon bestseller in American Literature Criticism—and he writes literary fiction that’s equal parts lyric and bite. He’s also a recovering rockstar (yes, really), which means he still believes in rhythm, big feelings, and making something out of noise.

Mookie is our resident Chief Executive Nap Officer and hands-on studio assistant—meaning he routinely “helps” by plopping onto whatever we’re making, strolling across laptops, and demanding to be held like a baby (all 27 pounds of him). Unlike his more private colleagues, Stan Lee and Betty White, Mookie prefers active participation: fetch sessions with rolled-up paper, loud creative notes, and constant supervision. He’s also Kevin’s best friend in real life—howling the moment Kevin leaves and celebrating like a one-cat welcome committee when he returns.

The Quiet Parts is a collection of stories about what happens in the pauses-between decisions, between paychecks, between the words we mean and the words we settle for. Set in a Rhode Island (and adjacent New England) that feels both intimate and unyielding, these narratives move through clinics and kitchens, bars and boundary lines, offices and nursing homes-places where ordinary life quietly sharpens into something else.

You Forgot About Me (2017)
A poignant interpretation of the effect of war on human beings. Haslam’s collection of interconnected short stories is horrible in its fascination and so intense as to be actually painful to the reader. “You Forgot About Me” is a series of impressionistic descriptions, vivid, poetic, and realistic.

A poignant interpretation of the effect of war on human beings. Haslam’s collection of interconnected short stories is horrible in its fascination and so intense as to be actually painful to the reader. “You Forgot About Me” is a series of impressionistic descriptions, vivid, poetic, and realistic. Unraveling over six months near the end of World War II, disillusionment and an almost morbid sympathy with mental and physical suffering are outstanding features of the book. These stories do not discount the varying motives that lead to war, but instead each story is centered on a specific event or circumstance that dissect the depths of the emotional torture brought on by war.
