Ross Fale wrote a profile of your humble scribe for the most recent issue of the Lakeland Mirror, the newspaper at Lakeland College where, this semsester, I've been teaching a course in Writing Creative Nonfiction. Ross starts out saying that I'm "a soft-spoken man with a large presence" and my "bushy, graying beard almost invites one to hug him like a teddy bear." And then he goes on for another 1800 words about me. It's enough to make a fellow (almost) blush.
Ross is, I have to confess, one of the students in the class I've been teaching. He wrote the profile for a news writing class he's also taking this semester, and the piece was accepted for publication (in its entirety!) for the campus newspaper.
Thanks, Ross. The whole thing is nicely done.
To read the piece in its entirety, you'll have to register at the Lakeland site. The registration is free.
Another of the students in creative nonfiction, Paul Davis, has a short article up on the Lakeland site about the Great Lakes Writers Festival being held at the school on November 4-5, 2004. Paul Zimmer and I are the two writers featured at the festival this year. Each of us will give three readings and we'll be involved in several writing workshops during the two-day festival. The festival and the workshops are free and open to the public, but registration is required for the workshops.
