Art Rosch

Arthur Rosch was raised in the suburbs of St. Louis. He attended Western Reserve and Wayne State University, but wasn't much of a student. He worked through his teens and twenties as a jazz and blues drummer. He met a girl who liked poets, so he became a poet. He began exploring the novel form in the mid eighties and wrote his first novel around '87. It was terrible. In 1979 Art moved to the San Francisco area. His first sale was to Playboy Magazine in '88. The story won "Best Story Of the Year" and he enjoyed fifteen minutes of fame. His novel "Confessions Of An Honest Man" has just been released in paperback.
