Participating in the underground press movement of the 1990’s, I edited and published the zines Babelogue, Pedestrian Beat, and The Crisp Fabric. The subject matter evolved from absolute nonsense to polished pieces of social commentary. I have forged meaningful friendships with writers and artists I have never met.

This chapbook is a collection of short fiction. There are three short stories and two pieces of flash fiction. Some of the stories are humorous, others are entirely serious. Dealing with topics such as racism, drug use, abortion, and a flawless day, Looking for the Secular Bus is enlightening and entertaining. It can be purchased for $7.00, postage included.

Evelyn Avenue and Elsewhere is a collection of personal essays. It touches on my thoughts and experiences during the years I lived in Nashville. I moved there to record my music—which didn’t end up happening—and stayed until there was nothing left. I met some fun, interesting people. I still consider many of them good friends, even though we have lost touch.

Here are some friends whose support along the way has been invaluable:

Eric Bennett • We know each other from the college days. We’ve concocted many crazy schemes. We work together well as friends and as business associates.

Jhon Ackerman • We were high school friends in a band called Glass of Milk. Now, Jhon operates the Recording Zone. It’s a state of the art, fully functional, professional studio.

Ann Koi • Ann found Babelogue at Plan 9 and sent me a Lumpy Head. We corresponded for years before we actually met. We tend to exist on compatible wavelengths.

Jim Shelley • Jim is exceedingly prolific. His output runs the gamut from cassettes, records, CDs, MP3s, and streaming audio. His best medium, though, is performance.
