Introduction | has a PhD but hopes people won’t hold it against him. His last name is pronounced “Block,” not “Blotch,” but he’s gotten used to it. He has been called far worse. He lives in Connecticut, where he is an indentured servant to his dog. JP writes on his king-size bed with the fan on. His hobbies include eating cashews while watching TV and overdosing on film noir favorites. He has appeared on TV and radio numerous times. Having grown up in different households, he became interested at a young age in the fragility of self-identity. On his own since age 15, he also developed a lifelong interest in finding food and shelter. Thus he hopes you will buy his books. He has discarded many identities himself over the years before sticking with chocolate mint chip. His turn-offs include Brussels sprouts, bigotry, and people who think life is simple. He enjoys folks who have gained wisdom from hardship, and ask questions more than they assume answers. Besides novels, he writes poetry. JP’s paintings have been hailed as naïve folk art. Tumultuous skies are preferred over sunny ones. |
