Real Name: andy ray campanaro
About My Library: this is my third library. the first was any book i could get ahold of and keep (5 through 16). the second was a collector library (23 - 52). Started this one at 60 and it only has works in it that i LOVE TO READ. Took me a long time to learn the simple truth that you are what you read.
About Me: i read ten times as much as i write; it's a privilege i allow myself. i shudder sometimes when i see how much time generations from 30 years old down spend on television/computer screens. maybe that's why we're getting production type novels and writings now rather than what i like to call "delicious prose." (Capote, Koontz, are examples of the latter). i've published four books since 1990. I've been clean and sober since then, too. There is a correalation.
