Authors are a society’s junction box of though and change; the people who really shake things up in society are its intelligentsia, the centers of thought and change. Some writers are coy and quiet: Others are immensely popular, explosive leaders; and Straws finds himself somewhere in between these two extremes. As he is always cooking up something new in his neck of the woods, if you would like to know what is coming next, Straws can be reached at [email protected] and always has a good and interesting word to share with well-meaning readers, admirers, and fans of my work.
