"A long, winding road brought me to novels. There was a fling with Cornell's Ph. D program in English that got me an M. A. In Theater instead. There was a longer and much sexier run through alternative journalism, from the East Village Eye in New York to the L. A. Weekly in Los Angeles. At the Weekly I mostly reviewed movies, but also covered theater, performance art, music, books, local events, politics -- and ended up with a regular column called "Weird Sister." At some point I got exhausted with movies and newspapers. It pushed me to write a novel, The Ticket Out, a murder story based on my experiences as a Hollywood fringe-dweller. The second novel is equally personal. I was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, the heart of the Canadian oil business, and Knodes have worked in oil since the nineteenth century. This history inspired Wildcat Play, a warm hello and goodbye to a family tradition and grassroots American oil." (from FantasticFiction) ; Signed by Author. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket .
