Strange Days – A Pandemic Journey

Strange Days – A Pandemic Journey

As if times weren’t strange enough, my artist friend, Karen Wippich, and I have created an art book together. “Strange Days: A Pandemic Journey” attempts to capture through images and words a sense of the surreal experience we’re all living through. It features 48 of Karen’s reality-bending paintings matched with my brief ponderings on our […]

A KILLER STORY

I don’t know how else to explain it but a few years ago I got a wild hair and summoned up the gall to try writing a novel. Nobody stopped me and now it’s done. The “book” is called A KILLER STORY. In short, it’s a first-person crime noir with a memoir undertone. It takes […]

Grandpa Lazlo played for the Copywriters

Grandpa Lazlo played for the Copywriters

Found this old photo of my grandfather, Lazlo Overhead, who played college football for the Nebraska Copywriters, before they became the Cornhuskers. Copywriting and football run in the family. Okay, I’m lying. Lazlo played for the Carlile Copywriters, not Nebraska. And before being called the Cornhuskers, Nebraska’s team was known as the Bugeaters (no lie). […]
