Meeting Dennis Wilson: Book One (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781484950029)

Max Harrick Shenk is a fiction writer currently living in Vermont, 500-some miles from his home turf of central Pennsylvania. He will add more to this biography when he can think a little more clearly, but for now, the cogent facts include... * Novel MEETING DENNIS WILSON is being published as a series of seven serialized books through the spring and summer of 2013. * Short story collection WHAT'S WITH HER? available as a Kindle edition and soon to undergo a second printing from New Plains Press. * MFA in creative writing from Goddard College (2007). * MA in education from Goddard College (2010). * Single; divorced twice; hoping the third time will be a charm. * Website is www.maxshenkwrites.com * Athor of not only these stories, but of a continuing Facebook fiction project featuring the characters from these stories. * That should be "author." * Born 1964, Carlisle, PA. * Favorite authors: Henry David Thoreau, Mark Twain, Edward Abbey, Henry Miller, Ring Lardner, Jimmy Breslin, John McPhee, Anne LaMott, Susan Oliver, Miller Williams, Thomas Merton, Garrison Keillor. * Please don't think that citation of these athors indicates literary self-comparison to them. * That one should ALSO be "auhtors." * Or, rather, "authors." * I have had too many cups of coffee. * Favorite quote #1: "What is truth? I don't know, and I'm sorry I raised the point." Edward Abbey * Favorite quote #2: "You know, I'm not in this to make money. If I wanted to make money, I know what to do." Miles Davis * Favorite quote #3: "I'm not a genius; I'm just a hard-working guy." Brian Wilson * Citation of third quote does not inicate comparison to Brian Wilson, or any sort of self-assessment of genius or lack thereof. * That should be "indicate." * Errata to follow.
