about me

"Live Eels and Grand Pianos" will be published by Callio Press in the spring of 2011. It is a memoir about my parents, Charlie and Kathy Bradford.

Both Charlie and Kathy were seriously disabled by polio when they were children, and this book shows how trhey had to become extraordinary people in order to achieve an ordinary family life.

I have had some wonderful interaction with other authonomists I am no longer looking for backing or comments, but will post to the forums whenever I have anything interesting to say.


Good luck to all other Authonomists
