Autorenporträt
J L HOMAN is a published author with a BA in English from the University of Wisconsin/Madison, and lives in western Massachusetts. The first member of either parent's family to achieve a college degree, he lived twenty-seven years in Manhattan, kicking legs and singing songs in three Broadway musicals, and traveled North America in several musical tours. He's won scholarships with two international dance companies; survived the AIDS pandemic; and is attempting to rewrite the narrative of his life, while dealing daily with the existential angst and ironies that come with growing older and learning to let go. As a "gypsy" in three Broadway shows, he worked with Carol Channing, Donnie Osmond, and David Cassidy, and was seen as a "Rocker" in two Radio City spectaculars for the Ginger Rogers and Carol Lawrence. He received his Actors' Equity Association membership card from St. Louis Municipal Opera's 1975 Summer Musical season. His last two Broadway shows transferred from Connecticut's Goodspeed Light Opera.His two books, 'OUT HERE IN THE STARS A Memoir of Love, Loss & Learning to Let Go, and REVERIE ALONE WILL DO A Collection of Reflections, are also available through Amazon.com/books.
