  • TOM COLLINS | Part One - Gin
    Dec 6 2021

    🎙 In part one of season one, you will hear chapters 1 through 6 of "Tom Collins: A ‘Slightly Crooked’ Novel" by Douglas Vigliotti.

    ⚡️ When soul-searching Christian meets Liv, stars align and her green eyes burn a hole straight through him. Their playful attraction quickly escalates into something much more. But Liv has a little more to her story—one that will turn his life upside down and entangle him in a predicament for the ages. She’s married to his new boss.

    With a dash of dark humor, the story ensues and things begin to heat up. A ball-busting buddy tries to save Christian from himself, but a work event places everyone together on a weekend trip to Golden Beach, FL. As tension builds, his work nemesis, knack for late-night partying, and (most importantly) Liv don't make things any easier. Christian begins to question everything he thought he knew. It’s not until he stumbles upon a mysterious aging rock star that he starts to see things a bit differently. And sometimes, the way you look at something can change everything.

    ✨ TOM COLLINS is an unbridled, fast-paced novel about how our lives come to be and what shapes us along the way. Find out why reviewers have called the book “unputdownable” and “sneaky good!”

  • Welcome to Season 2 of Slightly Crooked: Good Stories, Told Well
    Apr 16 2024

    💥 In the Season 2 trailer, writer and podcaster Douglas Vigliotti introduces his 2021 poem collection "mini heartbreaks (or, little poems about life)” and shares that he will be reading the audiobook from start to finish. Vigliotti discusses the structure for the season, what led to writing the poems, what he has been working on since, and what to expect from him moving forward. He concludes by reading a short little poem about the collection.

    🔮 In late 2021, as a writing exercise, Douglas Vigliotti, author of Tom Collins: A ‘Slightly Crooked' Novel, wrote a poem a day for five months, with just one rule: be honest. He had no intention of releasing any of the poems, but what emerged, was a deeply personal, unflinching, and unbridled account of his life which led to this sparse unorthodox poem collection titled mini heartbreaks (or, little poems about life). Leaving room for interpretation but organized to tell a story, this all-too-close mini-memoir in poetry form pulls up the veil on writing, artistry, alcohol, women, missed opportunities, growing up, and moving forward. Heck, it might even leave you inspired.

    ⚡️ Download a copy of the poem collection at douglasvigliotti.com/mini-heartbreaks.
