The Air in Me Blows Rebelliously

The Air in Me Blows Rebelliously

When I first met Stan Grimes I knew instinctively that he was, and still is, a trouble maker. My suspicions were confirmed after I read two of his books, one a Science Fiction novel and the other a mystery story. In addition I have read much of his poetry.

We met in 2007 when we were posting prose and poetry on www.authorsden.com and have stayed in contact over the years watching each other’s progress. As for Stan he seems to be cranking out his novels with the fire of a fired up rebel with a cause.

Stan lives in a small city in Indiana with his wife, Debbie, a cat, and a dog.  He graduated from Indiana University and has worked for many years as a social worker.  Currently he is retired and devotes much of his time to writing science fiction and mystery novels.  He has published five fiction novels, three with Double Dragon Publisher, one with Wild Child Publishing, and of course his latest “Snowdrift Murders” with Club Lighthouse.  His first love has always been poetry.  Stan has written in this genre for thirty years…at least.  He enjoys walking along the river with his dog and piddling around in the yard.  He loves classic rock and alternative music.  His favorite authors are Robert Frost and Sylvia Plath. Here is one of Stan’s favorites: Clockwork We have suffered you and I but the years have smoothed edges of our rock hearts, time doctors repair broken clocks nonstop second hand  feelings. It is now time to enjoy our sun and summer breezes whispering tunes of destiny sweet lightening love. You can visit Stan’s web site at http://stangrimes.webs.com be patient, though, he may be piddling around in his yard. Thanks to Stan Grimes for sharing a little bit of his writing life. ~~~ I’m often asked what books I’m reading so I thought I’d leave a short list of my most recent reads. I am currently reading: The Art of Dramatic Writing by Lajos Egri  If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to write a screen play…they say (don’t ask me who they is) this is the writer’s bible of play writing. Landscape With Female Figure by Andrea Hollander. As you may recall I featured Andrea in my last blog The Murder of The Century by Paul Collins A great story about murder, corruption, scandal and the birth of the tabloid wars in New York, City. The Shape of The Eye, a memoir by George Estreich George tells the story of his family raising a child born with Down syndrome…a compelling read. The Truth Tree by Myrna D. Badgerow A collection of stories based around the life lessons one can learn from a tree deeply rooted in wisdom. As always thanks for reading The Air in Me  and allowing me to introduce you to a few of the many great writers I’ve come in contact with. Dan
