Since football season has returned at its regular time and slot in our collective lives, it struck me why so many are excited for the new season. I don't think it has anything to do with winning or losing at Fantasy Football. I do think it has a lot to do with being distracted from our daily lives. But more importantly, that we have a fantasy for us to look forward to. Believe it or not, I actually do look Continue Reading
The Red Bandanna – a book, by Tom Rinaldi
"Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air." - Thomas Gray, An Elegy Written In A Country Churchyard This past Sunday morning, as I was mindlessly reading the news, drinking black coffee after I had turned off the television news because I cannot stomach what's spewing out from those talking-heads, I safely surfed over to a rerun for the original Ghostbusters, because I wanted the television noise to fill up Continue Reading
How Do I say, “Thank you”, Deli Selects?
It is not lost on me every, single, time, I walk near my wife's office inside a tall Jersey City building at the banks of the brown Hudson River that I don't marvel at 3 things. Her, she's always number 1, and 2 & 3, the fact I can look out the building's rectangular smoked glass windows and see to my left the gleaming, brand new, after more than 15 years, World Trade Center with this sort of white-ribbed, maybe better, white-winged thing, and to my right, the statuesque, Lady Continue Reading
Orlando – The City Beautiful
It seems appropriate, standing here in Houston, binge watching the news, that it is raining. Because, I'm sad. As a younger man from when my thick hair was naturally dark brown, I lived in Orlando for a decade of my life. I managed the state for a large medical malpractice insurance carrier. I have been in almost every 'nook and cranny' in Florida. I do love Florida, almost as much as I love Kentucky. I met my wife in Winter Park, at Dexter's, not far from downtown Orlando, it was a blind Continue Reading
5th&Hope – Cheapside
I thought I'd share a section from my current novel, 5th&Hope. I'll not tell where in the novel this scene happens, but I suspect some of my childhood friends will know exactly where Cheapside was, and its historical significance. If you read this section, I welcome feedback - and feel free to share. NS -------------------- Cheapside was an innocent looking grassy spot in Lexington next to the old domed Romanesque styled courthouse made from native Greystone Continue Reading
LITTLE BOY – Chapter 1 & 2
I'm writing a story that simply put, comes to me from time-to-time. I have entitled it, Little Boy. I have written the ending, so now I'll begin to write the story. It's a rather emotional, lyrical story. I don't want to cheat the pure feelings and thoughts, as I think they come from my core. So, I don't want to, and will not, force it out of me against some relative time-line. But I will share it in its entirety. If you want to read it, as I journey along with the story, simply sign in to Continue Reading
A Prayer for Pink Petunia
Pink Petunia May 16, 2005 – April 19, 2016 As I rubbed Pink Petunia’s furry neck, I watched our tiny love pass into the next multiverse. That morning, before dawn, she and I had discussed the inevitable. A few days before, a seizure had returned, it robbed her of her ability to easily walk. She would stumble, but she tried hard. She would shrug at me as she looked up at me, as if to ask if I had a solution. I had none. Before I left for work, I had given her one last asparagus treat. She Continue Reading
Kirkus Reviews – A Positive Review for Bobby’s Socks
https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/nathaniel-sewell/bobbys-socks/ BOBBY'S SOCKS by Nathaniel Sewell KIRKUS REVIEW Debut novelist Sewell spins a tale of childhood sexual abuse and a quest for justice. Summer camp should be full of good times that result in happy memories, but that’s not the case for 9-year-old Robert. The evil Mr. Diabolus, who also serves as the assistant principal at Robert’s school, punishes the boy over a trifling issue by first locking him in a closet, Continue Reading
A Kentucky Boy at 50
It has come to my attention that as of December 28th, 2015, I shall be 50 years of age. 50? How has this happened? I don't know what to think or to feel. I hope I am at my mid-point, but if not, that's life. I don't want to write, 50 years 'OLD', because I don't think or feel 'OLD'. I've been lucky in life, by and large, and unless I told you I was 50, you'd not think me 50. I don't think I act like a stereotypical 50 year old remembering from my Kentucky childhood when men wore felt Continue Reading
1929 Pierce Arrow – Let’s Travel Across Route 66
Now that I'm 'patiently' waiting for the initial story editor analysis, I thought I'd share the type car that the characters where in as they drove from Carmel-by-the-Sea down to Los Angeles, roamed about old LA, and then across Route 66 toward Kentucky. This particular car was originally owned by Charlie Chaplin. I thought it was a car that my grandparent's could have actually seen as they studied at the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, BIOLA, from 1926 to 1930. So, I thought the car was a Continue Reading
