About Me

I'm a scruffy looking writer, reasonably intelligent. Not Brad Pitt, but not Ernest Borgnine either. My house is a repository for books and I love movies more than is reasonable for an adult person. (Princess Bride, Cabaret, Liquid Sky, anything by Monty Python or Robert Altman. Old Disney. New independents. Etc.) I have a writing partner who I also own a business with (with a real office. We even have a Ficus tree), but he's straight, poor dear. In fact he's here right now helping me with this profile. Because I'm way too humble. Plus, he can spell.

We've published a book (hold for applause), called Weeping Willow: Welcome to River Bend, based on our on-line satirical serial that had fans all over the world. You can find out all about it (and us) and read the first three chapters free here: www.JosephCoaler.com

And then there's Poor Paul. Steve and I write it. Here's the trailer:

Deep Background About Me (the boring stuff):

Maternal grandparents were from Italy and Malta, paternal grandfather was Pennsylvania Dutch, grandmother "Daughters of the Revolution", a particularly snooty bunch of women who think having relatives who fought a war is something to brag about.

My family is mostly Baha'i. I meditate and pray but don't have a religion, per se. I'd love to be able to say I'm Druid, but that's more cool than practical, I'm afraid.

I have a BFA in theatre from Fort Wright College in Spokane Washington. Since I graduated, no one has cared that I have a BFA and the college no longer exists. But we did some fine plays way back then.

My Interests

Books, music, cooking, movies, books, driving long distance and books. And movies. Almost any movie. I used to go camping a lot, but I've gotten too busy for it (or too old? I hope not.) And that's camping in a tent, not in a dress and pearls, buster.

(I usually hate these things, but what the hell, they actually got it right:)
