We are living in a misandrist world and very few people are even slightly aware of this. In order to chip away at this we need to work to inform the public with sites like menaregood and many others. However, the power of story is what has gotten us into this mess with the feminists perpetual voicing of one sided narratives that focus on female victimhood and female positives and leave out men and boys except as the perpetrators. Men are extraordinarily creative, just look at the world’s best writers, artists, composers etc. We need to start using those skills to unearth the reality of men’s issues and that is just what is done by the book that is excerpted below, The Coriolis Effect. Read the excerpt, if you like it, buy the book, tell your friends, spead the male friendly creativity as far and wide as you can. And remember, men are good.

"Richly detailed, The Coriolis Effect is marvelously at home in the geography of New York, its highways, waterways, and bridges. The novel’s staying power lies in its equally convincing account of the gap between father and son and in its painful, truthful vision of the hard work, good luck, and, yes, the chaos needed to heal old wounds and inspire men to make a new world."

"While the drama builds up to resolutions, these are met in unexpected ways. Not wanting to spoil the narrative's conclusion, I will close by saying that even the most jaded reader of contemporary crime and/or dramatic novels will not be disappointed at how the book ends. My only caveat is this: Suspension of disbelief is advised, as the tale can sometimes take on an almost surreal feel. But the beauty of fiction is that it can take license with reality, adding and subtracting in ways that promote the storyline and avoid tiring the reader with the petty distractions of actual life. Enjoy this carefully-thought out and timely piece of writing."

"As I read this book, I marveled at all the nature scenes you included -- virtually the entire book is set in the outdoors, by rivers, in grasslands, with the exception, perhaps, of Manhattan and the trips through the South Bronx, but even in Manhattan, there are those walks with father and son through Central Park. Some scenes stand out as really special, a tough call to make in such a powerful novel: Cyrise and Marco’s lovemaking is transcendent and stirring, Marco and Thomas’s last day on City Island is intense and powerful; the image of Cyrise’s landlady dancing with a hat rack with her dead husband’s hat on it is poignant and moving.

"From the first few pages, The Coriolis Effect will draw you into a crime story that stands on its own merits against the backdrop of an approaching storm. But soon, like its namesake, the world will shift around you as you stand in place. The storm and the crime will be revealed for what they are: metaphors in the inner world of men and their fathers. On a personal note, I have waited for years for this novel to be written. Perhaps I have waited for my whole life. I am pleased to say it was worth the wait."

"Marco's relationship with his father, Thomas, has never really recovered since the drunk-driving accident that cost Thomas his career as a police officer. Meanwhile, Marco is also trying to develop a relationship with the lovely Cyrise, but is hampered by his unfinished emotional business with his father. But Thomas, in his desperation to leave his son a legacy, has gotten involved with some seriously dangerous people. Now, there are two storms brewing, one literal and one figurative, that will put both Marco's and Thomas's lives on the line, and require Marco to finally become a man in order to save them both.

THE CORIOLIS EFFECT is lyrically written, with a poetic lilt that can make even brutal murder seem disturbingly beautiful. Cyrise is gracefully and lovingly described – in their first meeting, she is “smiling like a rainbow on a bubble”- and Marco's love for his father resonates through the book and gives it heart. "
