Norman’s Cousin & Other Writings (Unsolicited Press, Portland Oregon, June, 2023) is a selection of his writings from 1976-2023 set in Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Ngongo Chronicle is a recently completed novel about an assassination plot in an imagined East-Central African Country told from the points of view of the assassin and the targeted dictator.

Ron Singer is the author of 21 published books. “Think Local, Think Global” will feature the final installments from two trilogies, one of which collects work set in New York City and elsewhere, including Maine. The other books have African political themes, e.g. governance, war and exile. Ron has been summering in Weld for more than two decades. In 2020 and 2021, Ron collected, edited and published stories by older residents: Weld Tales, Long, Short & Tall (Akorin Books, 2021).
