WILD PROFILE: NICHOLAS ORSINI STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART

by: Nicholas Palumbo

Who: Nicholas Orsini, author/poet.
Where: Long Island, New York

What’s on his mind today: Right now I’m about to move..

What he is currently working on: I’m currently working on two projects: The first is my follow up novel to Two Wrongs Make a Vice. Coming off a book that is so stream-of-consciousness, I wanted to try something more structured. In addition to that, I’m also working on assembling a new blog called Wonder Summer.

What his earliest memory is: Riding my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles big-wheel around my parent’s first apartment in Newark, NJ. I’ve recalled memories from old pictures and stories…I was a handsome kid, always well-dressed and terribly behaved.

What cracks him up: A few things crack me up: old Sly Stallone movies, James Marsden in Sex Drive, old pro-wrestling pay-per-views, Camp Nowhere and Twitter.

What his Wild Wish is: My wild wish is pretty simple: I want writing to make a comeback. There is a movement that’s about to happen in writing…and it will be started by people who write from the heart.
