Welcome to my site...
I am a visual artist working primarily in abstraction with brief forays into collage. I'm also a writer who can't stop writing. I've published one book, Tablecloth Nights, a memoir, and several blogs on this site over the past few years,
(you can still read them by going to the Blog tab at the top of this page)
COMING SOON!
I'm about to release a second book, Orange Sox and Pipe Dreams, Woodstock , the 90's, also a memoir. I'll publish it here on this site, as a bi-monthly series of blogs, much like books have been published , in the old days of magazines.
Did you know that Charles Dickens was a pioneer of serial publication, significantly shaping the literary landscape of his time?
Dickens' serialized novels included classics like "A Tale of Two Cities" and "Great Expectations," which were later compiled into complete books. Dickens' novels were often released in installments, primarily through magazines, allowing readers to engage with the story over time and provide Dickens with the flexibility to adapt his narratives based on audience reactions.
Alexandre Dumas was also prolific as a serial writer. The Count of Monte Cristo was one of many serial novels, with his most famous other book, The Three Musketeers.
You’ve probably read a book that was first published serially, even though you may not know it. The Picture of Dorian Gray, A Farewell To Arms, All Quiet On The Western Front, and hundreds of others, were initially released in installments, prior to the single-volume works you know today. Serializing allows readers to sample the book, but it also appeals to readers’ desire for continuous storytelling and to see characters grow over time.
I'm looking forward to sharing Orange Sox and Pipe Dreams with you!
