About Me

I'm a writer, mostly of fiction and poetry. I used to write a lot of music reviews for BAM and LA New Times, among other publications. At the moment I'm looking for a publisher for my "vampire Sylvia Plath" novel, The Posthumous Life of Eleanor Bell. Links to some of my work on the web can be found at gwynnegarfinkle.com. My last.fm stations can be found at www.last.fm/user/gwynnega/.
