Indiana, oh Indiana!: Note Army Stamp on Lower Left Corner of this Envelope

Welcome!

This blog is primarily for and about Hoosier born-raised-educated writer John Bolinger, directed by Indiana ex-pat Annie River. John, who taught English and writing, in northwest Indiana, for more than 35 years, lives in Centennial, Colorado, with his partner, Jim Richardson. Annie, born and educated in Indiana, has lived in Washington, DC, for more than 35 years. When Annie discovered John's memoir, "All My Lazy Rivers," about his Indiana boyhood, in a tiny, independent bookstore in Washington, DC, their friendship began. Let the dialog begin!

YouTube Excerpts from John Bolinger's Books

See the excerpted chapters from ALL MY LAZY RIVERS, an Indiana Childhood...and COME ON, FLUFFY, THIS AIN'T NO BALLET, a Novel on Coming of Age. John's cousin Cathy Snyder Weber and her husband Felix Weber created the videos. Both books are available on Amazon.com; John's next book COME SEPTEMBER, the Story of a High School Teacher, will be released next fall and also sold at Amazon.

Please watch all my Weber cousins' wonderful videos. On YouTube, type in onecoffeeaweek in the search window, to find their collection of more than 20 YouTube works.
