Welcome!

I published the novel Tall Corn State on Amazon this year (2021). It was a success but only in my own limited view of it; I knew by experience that if you drop something in the Amazon sea of self-published works you'll get a small bump from your friends but you'll drift pretty quickly into obscurity. I thought it was a good novel and I was proud of it. It was very personal and difficult to publish for that reason only. But now here I am today, still hoping people will read it.

Forthunately I have generated lots of pop art publicity for it, as Iowa was always somewhat on my mind anyway. I'll put that pop art here. I left Iowa to go to Korea and from there, never really went back to live, though I tried several times. Instead I ended up in Illinois, then Texas, and now finally New Mexico, where I am writing and reliving old times.

I hope you enjoy this blog. I will link it soon to the book itself and will announce here when the audiobook becomes available. And any old thing I have to say about Iowa, that will probably end up here too. There was an older Tall Corn State blog, on a different web system, but I figure this is part of my writing business (tlevsp), so I put it here. This system is mostly my writing-related blogs.

Thanks for coming! Hope you read the book!
