Timothy Schaffert
In my novel The Singing and Dancing Daughters of God, Hud Smith, a hotel lounge singer, nightly performs autobiographical tales of marital woe, with titles such as "A Broken Heart and Crazy Glue," and "A Lovely Afternoon for a Crying Jag."

But I do enjoy the opportunity to talk about my work.
