Autorenporträt

About the Author/Artist
I am currently disabled with Lewy Body dementia. It is a brain disease, like Alzheimers, although in the case of Lewy Body Dementia, the memory is not being destroyed but the brain cells in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain slowly stop functioning. The neurons, which process thought and access memory shut down, go dormant. They create gaps in the pathways the neurons use to transmit data; sort of like a short circuit in a wiring harness, where the wires start breaking or the relays quit working. Much of the brain's messages to coordinate with other centers of the body become distorted and impaired. There is no cure for this disease nor is there treatment for it; other than to ease the outward symptoms of the disease.

I have drawn and painted since I was a child, and in school I loved to write stories. As the disease progressed my artistic abilities seemed unaffected by the dementia. In fact, I got better at drawing and painting, even as I lost the ability to write, do math and speak fluently. In 2013, after I was diagnosed with having Lewy Body Dementia at the Mayo Clinic, I started drawing a web comic (self publishing it independently on the web, on February 28th, 2014), and called it "The Year Everything Changed." It's a serial-type story, sort of like Alice-through-the-looking-glass coupled with parallel dimensions. (I stopped writing/drawing 'The Year Everything Changed' and closed down the comic's website toward the end of February, 2019). In 2017, I started trying to rewrite an old story of mine, unpublished, first written back before there were things like cell phones and laptop computers. "Missing Without A Trace" was the result.
