Biography
I am a freelance writer, the Publisher/Editor of a nostalgic magazine of memories mostly related to southern Illinois called The Wanderer. We publish every three or four months depending on when we can pay the bills!
I read poetry at various poetry functions, chiefly, one held on the third Tuesday of each month in Evansville at the Poet House, 105 Adams Ave., home of Bill Sovern, poet maestro of Evansville.
I also write for local radio as well as perform weekly in plays I write for a "Recreation of Old Time Radio" which is exactly as it sounds, we try to recreate the old radio shows of yore. We are always looking for readers. And I host a Wednesday morning quiz called 'Professor Phony's Film Facts" on the same radio station---1060-WMCL AM in McLeansboro, IL.
Also on Thursdays, the same day we do the plays, I do a 'Wandering Moment' in which I read a short narrative on life and all its fobiles, often this includes poetry.
