Pogy
Drunkie
"Janet and Evan came to the Christmas party as Jane Eyre and Rochester, and got tres pogy; within an hour they'd monopolized the misteltoe. Life at Thornfield Hall must be hot!"
Hi. My first novel, Rock Bottom, was published by Back Bay Books/Little, Brown, in 2009, and is being staged as a musical by the Landless Theater Company in 2011. I am working on novels in which mishaps occur, and people must make those mishaps right, though sometimes they would prefer to just lie around and watch TV. I also teach at Seattle University, and prefer sunny days.
