Artwork by F. N. Wright

F. N. Wright was born and raised in Mattoon, Illinois and currently resides in the mountains of Southern California. He served four years with Navy Amphibious Forces and is a veteran of the Quemoy-Matsu Island Crisis and Vietnam. Since then, he has turned his creative talents to writing and painting, inspired, of all things he says, by baseball. Wright's writing and paintings have been published in several print and online journals and anthologies like Mudville Diaries, X-Ray, Mystery Island Press, Bottle of Smoke, and Feel Free Press. His novels include The Whorehouse (1977), Flight to Freedom (1986), and The Music Sluts (2005). His paintings are colorful and whimsical, exploring issues of the human heart and culture. Of his artwork, Wright claims, "I am more primitive than the primitives." For information about availability of his paintings contact Wright at osoflaco2@msn.com.
