The Waldentown Express (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781540872043)

HOWARD DENSON describes himself as a flunky journalist from the times he worked as reporter, copy editor, makeup editor, sports writer, photographer, and cartoonist for newspapers in Pensacola, Tallahassee, Bessemer, and Birmingham. He has been living in Jacksonville, Florida, since 1969. At what is now Florida State College at Jacksonville, he taught composition, literature, and creative writing, plus humanities courses in the ancient world and Middle Ages, the Renaissance to the modern world, art appreciation, American art and culture. A native of Jasper, Alabama, he has also lived in Florence, Birmingham, and Mobile in Alabama; Vidalia in Georgia; Columbus and Hattiesburg in Mississippi, Norfolk in Virginia; and Pensacola, Marianna, Tallahassee, Key West, and Jacksonville in Florida. He was closely involved in a town-and-gown writers' conference, the Florida First Coast Writers' Festival, where he helped run and judge contests in novels, short fiction, poetry, and plays. He attended similar conferences at Samford University, Birmingham-Southern College, the University of Florida, and especially at St. Petersburg's excellent Florida Suncoast Writers' Conference. He has been an editor and/or contributor to The State Street Review, The Penchant, The International Journal of Elvisology and the Elvisian Era, The Write Stuff, The FCCFF Update, and Kassandra's Kitchen. He and his smarter bride of forty-one years Michele Boyette currently have four-legged children: the meowers, Billy, Wally, Frieda, Amber, Mercutio, the still feral Peepers ("I don't trust you yet, but I do like your food, and you can brush me if you're gentle about it"); and the agéd barkers, Mr. Darcy and Daphne.
