I don't consider this a site for self-promotion so I'll only do this once. For those who might be curious about my writing career you can check it all out at pauljmann.com 

Good Luck Paul.

Hope the web site draws lots of local people to read about your writing career.

A little bit more of your background here as well Paul:

Interesting stuff, Paul! A long shot, but did you by any chance know my father, George Turnbull? Looking at the timeline, he would have been a reporter at the Chronicle around the same time you were there, but it may have been earlier....
