Joe C. Smolen, AKA L.W. Smolen is an author of insufficiently exaggerated notoriety. Never having been arrested, he lives on the Oregon Coast with Sherrie and the ghost of their black, Standard Poodle Rico Suave.

Barnacles attach themselves to anything at all - other barnacles, pop bottles, sections of pipe, the shells of dead clams. People are smarter than barnacles - if they use their noggins
