Having three magazines I was writing for go out of business in the same week. That would result in my first published book The Story Of The Eagles: The Long Run. A matter of fact conversation with the editor of a British publishing house called Omnibus Press who, in the very last line of a letter matter of factly asked me if I was interested in writing a book for them on the band The Eagles.
In no particular order: I once had an editor point a loaded gun in my face because I was pestering him for the $20 he owed. Interesting comes in a lot of shades and colors.
Being basically an introvert, I quickly warmed to the idea of making writing my life.Ĭan you share the most interesting things that occurred to you in the course of your writing career? Which was about the time I started freelancing for the underground newspaper the Los Angeles Free Press. The first time I get any money for my writing was a profile on a British rock band in a magazine called Words And Music. My first published piece was a poem in the East Los Angeles College literary journal.
But I grew to like the idea of getting my thoughts and dreams down on paper with my name on them and having people read them. Lots of childish short stories and poetry. Can you share a story about what brought you to this particular career path?
