I am a writer whose humor column, "Home Front," appeared in a string of California newspapers for 15 years. At left is my favorite column photo. I still look like that--honest! My novel, Count All This, is a serious work that explores themes of breast cancer and mental illness.
Background
Information
I am currently serializing my novel online for free, and I'm very excited about it! You can check it out at http://www.countallthis.blogspot.com One thing that appeals to me in this project is the ironic blend of the traditional and modern in the serial/blog format. Another is the opportunity to include visual art, and links to the artist's pages, thereby opening the form and allowing support of multiple genres. Another is it puts the publishing power entirely in the hands of the artist (like author's den!), bypassing the gatekeepers who shape popular culture in the interest of corporate profit. Free public art can be seen as a political statement. It's important. It's alternative. It makes me happy. Best of all, it's free! Free to the reader! Free to the writer! FREE FREE FREE!!!
Accomplishments
Well, I did win "best column" at the Peninsula Press Club in a past life, but that was too many years ago to mention here...
