Singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist and purveyor of folk 'n' roll: spirit-filled sad songs made better.

Birth Notice

NICHOLSON—Vern and his beloved companion in spirit, Leilani, are pleased to announce the arrival of a bouncing baby manuscript for Leilani's Gift.

Gestation time was 2 years, 7 months, 1 week, and somewhere between 6 and 8 drafts (Vern lost count). The lil' cutie enters the world weighing 445 double-spaced pages, 12-point Times New Roman, 1" margins all the way round.

Father relieved and absolutely spent; mother proud, joyous, and serene as always. Fate of baby unknown—currently in hands of editor at publishing house—but expected to survive.

Congratulations! Just a couple days too late for Father's Day.

Times New Roman -- that's a nice traditional choice for a baby. I heard that Julia Roberts' gave her kid an Arial font: imagine all the teasing he'll get about the missing serifs.
