"Thanks for introducing us to the rich world of the Fauves."
Beware. There's nothing historical or factual about these Fauves. These are the fictional Fauves who exist only in my head. But the art of the real Fauves is well worth getting to know!

Thank you Kim for your comment on Inheritance. I appreciate it.
I notice your quote which I had never seen before but heartily agree with. I used to teach people how to construct and tell stories in a former life. Now I'm trying to teach myself.

Kim, thanks for your comments on The '08 Campaign and the Katrina story.
History is the most important subject of all, because if you don't know who, what, and where you've been, how can you know who, what, and where you are now? Yet year after year high school students point to history as the subject they hate most. Just one more indication of just how radically fucked-up America society is.

i see you have made a short---the narrator of my nere novel, LEAVING TELLURIDE, is a failed filmmaker, a guy who made a few shorts that caused some buzz at sundance, then dropped out of sight, and wound up on wall street (sigh).

i look ofrward to reading/viewing your work.

go canada.
