I'm an old Tuskeeloossee friend of John Allen (jackass) Cassady.
Seeing as how you trying to help writers, I've tried my hand at fiction twice.

About 15 yrs. ago I wrote a play about being the only light skinned male academic teacher in a B'ham high school and I wrote a sci-fi novel about a Jesus freak who decides to destroy the Earth by eliminating growth control in reptiles.
