CHECK IT OUT I'm happy to announce that THIS BOOK IS OVERDUE! will arrive in bookstores later this year. In the coming months, I'll also talk about how to keep from being overwhelmed by the digital age, and how librarians saved me from technostress... Stay tuned!  I wrote The Dead Beat: Lost Souls, Lucky Stiffs, and the Perverse Pleasures of Obituaries after writing obituaries for Katharine Hepburn, Princess Diana, Jackie Onassis, Johnny Cash, Bob Hope, and Marlon Brando for Life and other magazines. I've been a staff writer for Life and an editor for Esquire. My articles, reviews, essays, and poetry have appeared in many publications. My book about librarians and archivists in the digital age, This Book is Overdue! How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All will be published in December. |
