Douglas's Story

Greetings all you rockin' Robbins. After graduating from the U, I headed to Milwaukee to work at the Milwaukee Journal for a year, maybe two, The place grew on me, as did my two kids. After 33 years at the paper on many different assignments (best was undoubtedly movie critic for 13 years from 1981 to 1995), I pulled the plug to write fiction full time. I had been published as a short story writer (movies were not enough of an escape, I guess), but I wanted to try book length fiction. My first novel, "Even Sunflowers Cast Shadows," was published last year...Expand for more
and I was fortunate to win the Council for Wisconsin Writers award as the best novel of 2010 by a Wisconsin writer. (You can read about it on my website. Just Google my name - Douglas D Armstrong - or the book's title. It will be in the top five hits.) I've lost my yearbook (I think my mother threw it out) and I haven't been to a reunion since the 20th, but I am trying to catch up a little before reading from my novel at Common Good Books in St. Paul Oct. 4. It's a plug, i suppose, but I would like to catch up with old friends. Best wishes from Wisconsin.
