Always the observer, FW has spent a lifetime with the notion he is on the outside looking in. Everything gets noticed and noted, very little escapes. Needing a creative release, theatre, and all the boundless expression the stage allows, found him in his mid-twenties, catching him quite by surprise. An actor, director, producer, stand-up comic, poet, street performer, lover of the short story, he realized writing was the one thread binding them, holding him, together. Writing is the one area he feels totally at ease with.
Out on his own early in life, at times he has had to survive on sheer wit, wily ways, and wishful wisdom. Where to some life is a test, FW likens it more to a pop-quiz. Only those quick enough, creative enough, witty enough to react, are allowed to move on to the next experience, the next round.
Over the years, luck, fate, and roads traveled, have put, placed, dropped, a wealth of colorful characters in his path. He read somewhere, "Writers write best writing of what they know." So with, "Never Play Leapfrog with a Unicorn", he has decided to start at the beginning, chronicling the oft times funny, oft times emotional, oft times dramatic, yet always colorful characters chance assembled to orbit his formative youth.
So sit back, put your feet up, pull the box of Junior Mints® a bit closer. The show is about to begin.
