@volvocars at this point I want to turn this car in off my lease, get my money down back and be done with it. I have also read the online comments on this car and many are having the same problems. This looks to be pure negligence on Volvos part and they need to respond

[Tony Taddei @tony_taddei]

@volvocars my Ex30’s driver assist is completely unreliable - auto braking has failed more than once in dangerous situations we’re only my own reaction saved me at the last minute, lane control does not hold the lane more than 5O% of the time, cruise control often stops working

[Tony Taddei @tony_taddei]

@volvocars the dealer having no solution is not doing anything for me and even the sales person who sold me the car is not returning my calls. I would not recommend this car and its electronics to anyone.

[Tony Taddei @tony_taddei]

@volvocars moreover the GPS more often than not gives completely wrong directions and alerts are popping up for hands on the wheel and driver attention when there is no reason for them. I am completely dissatisfied with this car

Here it is my writing friends - four shelves of some of the very best books on writing, courtesy of the Bread Loaf library. If you don’t see one of your favorites tweet back and let our writing friends know. You can never get enough good writing inspiration.

Agents and editors panel at Bread Loaf. Lots of advice from these talented folks at the top of their game but the best advice is to just keep writing and submit your best and most meaningful writing. Forget what you think they’re looking for, where is your passion taking you?

[Tony Taddei @tony_taddei]

Back at Bread Loaf again. No place more beautiful have I found to write and learn.

Check out the craft interview on my collection “The Sons of the Santorelli” in Cleaver Magazine. Cleaver has become one of the best literary magazines around and fiction editor Andrea Caswell’s insightful questions were truly inspiring.

When Amazon sends you an email recommending your own book to you …
For a second get excited until you realize that machines are not actually your friends.

A poem from this week's New Yorker, "Anvil" by Arthur Sze, (read during my pre-writing poetry "dive" this morning). The last line of this, after all that comes before it, just knocks me out: "here is the anvil on which to hammer your days"

I read poetry every morning before I start to write, and I came across this one today from Alex Dimitrov. In the contributors' notes he says he wrote it a line a day over the past few hard years to give people hope. It did that for me today. https://t.co/SDQCyF7wDe @alexdimitrov

[Tony Taddei @tony_taddei]

Honest to God, he just crawled up on the couch and looked at me like this. I'm a fiction writer and even I couldn't have made it up. #keepitclean #belikebrodie #smilingdog

[Tony Taddei @tony_taddei]

Here's a first look of all the Spring titles being released by Bordighera Press (publisher of my collection, "The Sons of the Santorelli"). Keep a look out for all these great works of fiction, poetry and history on April 12th .
