About Me

I'm a humorist, actor and writer in Pittsburgh, PA. My short plays have been performed in and around the Pittsburgh area and I've just recently started to try my hand at short fiction. I'm also the co-founder of the Hodgepodge Society, the world's only clandestine brotherhood dedicated to furthering humanity through humor. Chatham University just put together a collection of my short plays, "Purgatoriography and Other Plays", which you can find here: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/purgatoriography-and-other-plays/6464158

One of my plays, "Trench Coat", was a finalist for the 2010 Netional Ten Minute Play competition.

Why do you write?

Writing is the only thing that stands between me, my cubicle job, and a complete nervous breakdown.

Any favorite authors? Books?

I usually find myself reading genre fiction. Currently, I'm very much enjoying anything by Terry Pratchett and Philip Palmer for starters...

Yeah, hey. We're characteristically slow at work. I'm pretty bored. So -- if you could have a tea party in space with any fictional character, what is 37 x 112?

Brianne Baxtali – Mar 31, 2011

Yeah, we make our way around Pittsburgh and surrounding areas. However, we spend most of our time around Bloomfield/Lawrenceville, so if you see us, make sure to wave. (Otherwise, Zelly might try to eat your soul.)

Brianne Baxtali – Mar 30, 2011

Yeah, we're certainly representing...something.

Wait, which site? If it was Cthulhu & Me, the Elder Thing takes all the credit.

Brianne Baxtali – Mar 30, 2011

Wait. I just clicked on your profile, and you're in Pittsburgh, too? I think we're the only two on all of Fictionaut.
