Announcing the forthcoming publication of:

An Accident of birth”

a Memoir by T. Alex Blum

When a stranger who turns out to be his niece receives an extra 23andMe test by mistake, it changes Alex Blum’s life forever.  

At the age of sixty, Alex Blum made a life-altering discovery: he was the eldest of four biological brothers he never knew existed. Born in 1955, Blum had always known he was adopted, yet the secrecy of the era kept every detail of his origins sealed. Without a court order, he spent decades without a single clue about where he came from, or why he had been given up.

Raised by a wealthy family on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Blum grew up surrounded by privilege but plagued by a deep sense of disconnection. He often felt out of place and emotionally unmoored, longing for a sense of belonging that never arrived.

Having built a career helping others tell their stories, first for brands as a commercial producer and then as a feature film producer with credits including Behind Enemy Lines and Flight of the Phoenix for 20th Century Fox—Blum finally turns the camera on himself in An Accident of Birth.

More than a memoir of adoption and reunion, An Accident of Birth explores the universal emotional landscape shared by adoptees everywhere. With candid, affecting prose, Blum examines the pressures of “adoptee gratitude,” the quiet ache of alienation, and the lifelong search for identity, connection, and home.

Announcing The Publication of “Letter to Xhevdet Bajraj” by Jeff Weddle.


“In his book, A Letter to Xhevdet Bajraj, Jeff Weddle takes the reader on a roller coaster ride thru a somewhat hazy youth into the more complex and somber depths of maturity.  From crazy mixed up curious kid to somewhat radical professor, from dark solitude to reaching out to a global community, Weddle shares insights gained through his journey and offers a wider perspective on the mysteries of life and the universal experience.  This book is a must read!”

Sheila Lowe-Burke, Dr.,h.c., Michigan Beat Poet Laureate 24-26

“In A Letter to Xhevdet Bajraj, Alabama Beat Poet Laureate Jeff Weddle, in panoramic poetic detail, shines a bright microscopic light on the time that was, the time that is, the time that will be no more. Jeff Weddle writes the impossible. His mesmerizing, hypnotic poems put me in a trance, transported me to other worlds. Each poem is a living breathing painting, a moving picture come to life in me. Experiencing his poems I become reflective, and emotional. His poems are the real deal. Jeff Weddle’s A Letter to Xhevdet Bajraj is a master work of poetry.”

–Ron Whitehead, U.S. National Lifetime Beat Poet Laureate 

“Jeff Weddle’s dynamic poems prove once again that stories (and poetry) can have power. Reading these pages is like getting into the car with Jeff, and watching past and present fly by on a rollicking cross-country drive. All the while Jeff Weddle, a modern-day Neal Cassady narrates an ongoing dialogue with other poets, musicians, mystics, family members, and ne’er do wells all “dreaming of sweat and glory.” Drink up if you know. Open this book and buckle up if you want to take a wild ride through the back streets of the American zeitgeist.”

–Danny Shot, author of WORKS and The Jersey Slide
