Before you answer your Call to Adventure, take a moment to
meet and greet your fellow pilgrim on this highway to hell called existence...
Whoami?:
Notes on a Raconteur & Roustabout
Francis Trautman resides in the Carl Family Motor Lodge in St. Martin
Parish, Louisiana, and also for long periods in the backseat of his ’73 Chevy
Impala. “Graveyard Frank” is currently working on his next project, a travel
guide to East St. Louis, as well as, a script for an episode of NBC’s
“Watching Ellie.” Please do not inform him that the program has been
cancelled. He holds degrees in Semiotics and Forensic Entomology, both at
the Mail Order University of Toledo, Ohio, in addition to an honorary PhD
from the Businessmen’s Association of Greater Baton Rouge. In his spare
time, Frank enjoys his collection of porcelain unicorns and velvet paintings of
clowns [Not the sad ones!], and his turn-offs are legal action and girls who
won’t commit. His advice to young writers?: “Hop a bus. Join a cult. Kill a
vagrant. It’s just great literature. Period.”
Il faut épater le bourgeois! ~ Baudelaire
