And as for me, well ....
"I have written several novels even less well known than beloved Gravely, which Scribner's blessed with the Maxwell Perkins Prize in 1984. The manuscripts for all these books (including Man's Dream of Woman and Daughters) -- can be emailed to any interested reader. I am working on a new novel, Niagra!, whose thriller subplot turns on an eponymous new drug for women. I started as a sports reporter on the Kingston Daily Freeman after dropping out of Hamilton College. My column about food appeared in eight daily newspapers. I am working on a cookbook. I have an MFA, but no BA You can find me online at Hudson Valley Eats, Novelismo and Walking Woodstock After growing up in the real Woodstock and attending the first Sound Out at Pan Copeland's farm, I moved to Charlottesville, Virginia, where I ran a farm, owned a successful restaurant, worked as a country mailman, and eventually married Thomas Jefferson's fifth great granddaughter, who helped me learn to jump a small coop bareback. I have piloted hot air balloons. I love my son and daughter more than stars. My best friend died four years ago, while I was living near a beach behind the Orange Curtain. I love scribbling, Beaujolais and cooking dinner parties. I really do believe B. Traven was Jack London. I miss Fern Malkine. My favorite film is Mr. Hulot's Holiday. Or Playtime. Both by Jacques Tati. Do you know me? Did you know my mother? Please let me hear from you." -- Christian Gehman
