Grab Your Briefs!

Welcome to DanMarvin.net!  This web site is a little about me, and a lot about my book Briefs for the Reading Room.  Let’s face it, life gets busier every day.  There simply isn’t enough time in the day to read everything you’d like to.  In much the same way that microwave ovens revolutionized cooking dinner, Briefs for the Reading Room revolutionizes the time you spend after dinner.  Now you can fill this otherwise wasted time with humor, suspense, intrigue, and factoids.  In Briefs, you will discover 102 ‘micro-novels’, 1 to 2 page stories that pack in a whole day’s RDA of fiction.  You can preview Briefs by clicking here.

This web page will show you how you can improve your life through the miracle of micro-fiction.  It will fill your need for a blog about how Briefs came to be, and it will give you a preview of the sequel, A Change of Briefs for the Reading Room.  Click around, see what’s here, and offer up any comments you may have.  I’m delighted you stopped by, thanks for taking the plunge!  Here’s hoping you will be a regular reader…

Because everyone seems to love reviews, I offer up for you this one from the Lulu Book Review

“Bathroom duty has been the subject of many books, mostly targeted toward children. Some of my favorites are The Gas We Pass and Everyone Poops. But just search the word “poop” at Amazon and you’ll find books for adults as well. Dan Marvin’s book, Briefs for the Reading Room, is one such book, but don’t worry. It’s not about what’s in the bowl, but instead is a book designed to give you something to read while waiting for the end result…  Click here to read the rest of the review

    Hi Dan,

    Got your message from linkedin and I enjoyed your website. The blogspot radio show I plan to launch in May. I will provide more details this month. I think it would be fun to interview you.

    Best,
    Laura

    We watched the interview on your Blog.
    Now that you are a an important celebrity please be carful of young women that will try to gain your favor with erotic sex and exotic drugs.

      Norm, thanks for your concern. Although my pictures probably make me look like a vapid blonde girl in my 20’s, I’m actually a brunette. I’m glad you enjoyed the interview, in a next one I’ll give a shout out to all my Texas homies…

    Love the blog! I also responded to your LinkedIn query about self-publishing. So, you’re a micro-fiction fan, are you? Have you heard of Quill Pill (www.quillpill.com)? That’s where I publish mine!

    Dear Dan,

    Is it okay if we use your answer(s) to the discussion ‘What does it mean to be successful?’ in an e-book? Of course, your name and website will be included in this e-book, unless you choose not to do that. Glad to hear from you!

    Greetings,
    Roeland Suylen

    Sir,
    Having finished your “Thomas Granger”, I wanted to take this opportunity to share my appreciation of the work with you and your loyal following.

    I understand that “Briefs” is the more popular of the two works, and that numerous copies are already in circulation. However, “Granger” is by far the superior.

    The finely turned phrases, illuminating the struggle between academia and self-realization, are full of pithy observation. Indeed, “Granger” can hardly be said to be pith-poor.

    Best of luck.
