I was cleaning, dusting, and found some old books. Historic books document a time and place in our history. Well, Los Angeles Flipside Fanzine is an authentic documentary experience. So, it will be around and available on Amazon for your purchase.
I am grateful to WordPress for highlighting my other books and works of the last twelve years. I am happy happy. My goal of publishing books and starting a publishing company is reality.
I continue to ponder another chap book of poetry or new documentary experience.
I recently did an in book appearance locally. It was my touch with the real world. I love my local bookstore. Grateful to the Open-Book Topanga for supporting me and other authors. It feels so good, a real turn on.

“And I like those authors best whose scenes describe my own situation in life– and the friends who are about me whose stories touch me with interest, from resembling my own homely existence.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, The Sorrows of Young Werther
Funny how at times like this, the midpoint of winter, the liminality point brings comfort. Between waiting for a cancer call and another bit of grief.
The creative imagination or at the door of perception what has gone before you bend backwards and touches you with a sparkly hopeful friendship electric zap!
The hours reading Mad Magazine as a kid and taking the creative impulse of the cartoons and doodles to incorporate into the future of Flipside Fanzine.
The love of a monster whose soul is the new Prometheus, electricity. All come together at a bookstore. So, I know this bookstore holds the magic intelligence of it’s authors.
Beware all who walk into this place. The Open-Book Woodland Hills will read you like a scanning AI. But it is really the souls of those who came before you who will appease yours, with joy beyond measure.
“How mutable are our feelings, and how strange is that clinging love we have of life even in the excess of misery!”

And two songs are synchronize to this time of liminality “She” by Green Day and “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel
