Mike Hudson was founder and lead singer of Cleveland's legendary punk rock band the Pagans, who performed with Patti Smith, the Ramones, the B-52s and other leading lights of the era. In a prose style reminiscent of Hunter Thompson and William Burroughs, Hudson paints a stark insider's portrait of a life lived outside society's boundaries.

"He carves out words like a butcher carves out a steak. Sometimes there's blood on the chopping block." - George Sample, Corry (Pa.) Journal, March 14, 2008

"I can honestly give DIARY OF A PUNK perhaps the finest praise one can heap upon a music bio: it made me want to listen to the band. Loudly. Right now." - Christopher Schobert, Buffalo Spree magazine, May 2008

"Riveting, rattling and detailed ... full of death-defying tales, angry Cleveland brio and self-inflected disasters. It's truly as punk as the band - which has continued to exist on and off in some form - ever was." - Ira Robbins, Trouser Press

From a cursed cave and a haunted castle to the shocking scandals unfolding today, NIAGARA FALLS CONFIDENTIAL takes an unsettling look at four centuries' worth of the twisted personalities and strange occurences that you won't hear about anywhere else.

"The first book from the editor of the cage-rattling Niagara Falls Reporter reads like the bizarre flipside to dime-a-dozen tourist books." - John Law, Niagara Falls (Ont.) Review, Aug. 25, 2007

"A true-crime collection of yarns about mobsters, murder and mayhem that's a hellish postcard from the honeymoon capital." - John Petkovic, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Nov. 13, 2007
