About the Book

Oppenheimer’s Atomic Bride occurs in the months before the creation of the atomic bomb. Oppenheimer is visited by a destructive and creative ‘spirit’ as a femme fatale out of a detective novel. An American Pope, The Perfumed Monster, Johnny Visits the Ranch and My Life Among the Cannibals round out the number of stories to eight . . .


About the Author

Words have their own lives independent from their function as describers of ‘real’ worlds. They hold time and place but also can help us imagine new worlds. They preserve our experience against the dismantling force of death ... This is why I’m fascinated with words. As well as a writer, I am a painter and a poet. I teach college art and film classes and work at a variety of tasks looking for satisfaction.
