| Introduction | For me, Kronstantinople has evolved into a gratifying capstone to my nearly 45-year career. I moved to New York after college, and wrote for a diverse array of magazines and alternative publications. I worked with wonderfully smart and dedicated young people in the arenas of civil rights, consumer protection and prison reform. It was a brutal, beautiful life in that great city, which at the time was marred by crime and filth. I loved the people. I cherish my time there. And I was proud of the reporting I did on issues of social justice that are very much like those we still face today. Kronstantinople has given me a freedom both as a creative writer and as an investigative reporter that I never experienced while writing for all those "respectable" media, with their editors, style rules and length limitations. It's almost magically liberating. I highly recommend blogging. You'll be surprised at what comes out of you! |
| Favorite Books | The whole Elderly Girl thing may become my favorite very soon. Elderly Girl was one of the many surprises that emerged from Kronstantinople. She gained such a fervent following everywhere, particularly in Europe, that she demanded her own blog, book and movie. |
