About

reading small

I was born in the Tarheel, raised and schooled in the Commonwealth, adopted the Golden, then decided I needed to go back to school, so I moved to the Empire.

I like to write about politics, music, cultural issues and…writing. I have an affinity for bourbon, jazz, black and white photography and fantasy football. I also have man crushes on Bruce Springsteen and Van Morrison.

One Response to “About”

  1. I’m going around to all the Bay Area bloggers/freelancers to let them know about our new book by a local author, the Historic Photos of Paris by Rebecca Schall. We’d love to send you a complimentary copy for possible review consideration on your blog of this book or of her previous title, the Historic Photos of San Francisco. These titles are done in a large 10×10 format and all images used are culled from several archives that represent rare or never before seen photos of San Francisco and Paris. We’re trying to get the word out to local folks, so I hope you don’t mind me dropping you a line to let you know about our books!

    She has an upcoming signing on June 14th at 3pm at the Fisherman’s Wharf Barnes & Noble.

    Hope to hear from you soon.

    Best,
