A home for my writing
Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and I can see I have a few pieces that need to be added. In the meantime, let me tell you about the best news: I sold my book on literary Los Angeles!
Look for not only newly posted DWTG to show up on here, but occasional updates on the book’s progress as well.
I took a detour while researching Read Me, Los Angeles to sit with John Fante for a bit at the King Eddy Saloon. Join me and one of the greats of Los Angeles literature for a cold beer.
On my second trip to Porto, I dug into the literary history of the city and found activist and poet Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen. When I turned a corner and saw her face painted on a window, I knew I’d made the right choice.
It was only a matter of time before I sat down with Mark Twain, one of the literary giants of Northern Nevada. He and I drank in a bunch of saloons as I learned about Virginia City in its heyday.
On my recent trip to New Orleans, I spent some time with Alice Dunbar-Nelson, who proved to be an excellent guide to her hometown, in this piece from the BLARB.
