I am happy to say I start back there, full time, in July. To learn just a little bit more about me (I promise, just a little bit), and why I chose to call this blog The Generalist, read on.

(In the fall of 2011, I started conducting author appearances for interested book clubs. These are usually private. You can contact me at stevevolk@mac.com for more information.)
