From Jessica, this tale's eccentric teller:
"Only once in a great while, like maybe every couple years, it would decide to make a flower, a blue and yellow thing I admit was kind of pretty. But you never knew when it was going to happen, and most of the time it didn't, and most of the time that plant was just plain ugly. Anyway that stupid thing was what Winnie spent half her life worrying about."
This is one of T.V. LoCicero's shorter works published as an ebook. The others include the stories A Round with J.C., Fixed, Shrunk, and The Visit. He has also published the short memoir Selling the Bison and the memoir/essay, The Lessons of Sport. His longer works include the non-fiction books Murder in the Synagogue and Squelched: The Suppression of Murder in the Synagogue, as well as the novels The Obsession and The Disappearance.
About what he calls his "checkered past," LoCicero says:
"At one time or another I've found work as an industrial spy; a producer of concert videos for Rolling Stone's greatest singer of all time; one of the few male contributors to Gloria Steinem's Ms. Magazine; a writer of an appellate brief for those convicted in one of Detroit's most sensational drug trials; the author of a true crime book that garnered a bigger advance than a top ten best-selling American novel; a project coordinator/fundraiser for a humanities council; a small business owner; the writer/producer/director of numerous long-form documentaries; a golf course clerk; a college instructor who taught courses in advanced composition, music and poetry appreciation, introduction to philosophy, remedial English, and American Literature--all in the same term; a ghostwriter; a maker of corporate/industrial videos; a member of a highway surveying crew; a speechwriter for auto executives; a TV producer of live event specials; an editorial writer; the creator of 15-second corporate promos for the PBS series Nature; and a novelist.
"There is a sense in which that last occupation was the reason for all the others. Almost anyone who's ever tried to make ends meet as a novelist
