I grew up on a farm in Arkansas, and I fully intend to retire right back to that same farm. But not yet. I came to Louisiana in 1986 to teach Biological Psychology at Xavier University in New Orleans. I've been there ever since, although I now live in a semi-rural area outside Abita Springs, Louisiana.

My primary writing interests are in Fantasy and Horror, which are the genres where my books and most of my short stories fit. I also write nonfiction, however, and poetry.

I also have a very large number of reviews of fiction related projects that I've agreed to review so I wouldn't be able to get to your book in any kind of timely manner. Good luck with it, of course.

I'm a fan of Lamb's work but this was--perhaps--too much of a good thing. It's a huge book with lots of stories, but so big that I found it somewhat awkward to handle. There's also a certain sameness to many of the stories so I found it best to read ...more

Jeannie Faulkner Barber Hey there Charles. Boy, we spent some grand summers at Lake Ponchatrin beach, especially when the rides and beach front was booming. Also, I meant to ask you to visit my web site, jeanniebarber.com. I'm a novice writer so feel free to make any kind of suggestions, ideas or thoughts to correct it. While you're there, please sign the guestbook, too!
Thanks,
Jeannie



Charles Jeannie, Abita springs is near Covington. It's across Lake Ponchartrain from New Orleans/Metairie, not far past Covington.

Illyn, I'll check it out.


Jeannie Faulkner Barber Hey Charles, thanks so much for the add. Now just where is Abita Springs, LA? My husband and I use to splice fiber optic cable and we worked all over Louisiana...lots of little towns people had never heard of...I'm sure you're aware of that.
Blessings,
Jeannie
