About Me
- Name: Charlie O.
I've been pretending to be a writer since I was ten, I've been watching too many movies since I was 17, I've been living with the same woman and working the same job since I was 24. I'm the author of three published novels and five short stories. I am currently working on two projects, a biographical novel about Abe Osheroff, an Abraham Lincoln Brigade Vet, and a series of interrelated science fiction stories. I teach 7th grade English as a writing/reading workshop. My tastes in movies, television and literature are wildly eclectic. I await with equal anticipation new films by James Cameron and André Téchiné. I'm equally at home reading a little known German novel translated by Michael Hoffman as I am reading a well-crafted, smoothly written thriller. Sometimes I yearn for rich language or an understanding of life; other times I yearn for strong narrative.
