About the Book

An inspirational guide to lateral thinking when writing family and personal histories.

Whether or not there's a heaven or a hell, people will live on in the memories of those they've left behind.

On that premise, along with the belief that we all have life stories, philosophies, and influences simply by "having been," to pass on down to later generations-that we don't have to have been celebrities-Gary Kessler offers up a collection of vignettes on his somewhat unusual and adventuresome life and the events that influenced that life.

Most of the vignettes, in the form of essays, short stories, and poems, in this collection were entries in writing contests and/or published in anthologies. Others have been added to fill in holes on life-influencing events. The purpose of Of Me I Muse is both to pass on a slice of "who we were/what influenced us" from two generations before the author-to the extent they could be captured and preserved in the eleventh hour of losing them-and an encouragement to others to record in some fashion, the major points of their lives before letting them be lost to help keep themselves alive in the minds of their descendants. You don't have to have been a celebrity to play.


About the Author: Gary Dell Kessler now lives, with his wife of nearly five decades, in Charlottesville, Virginia. Gary previously had a career, spanning over thirty years, of service in Washington, D.C., East Asia, and the Mediterranean with the U.S. government's foreign media monitoring news agency, for which he served as managing editor, deputy bureau chief for Southeast and South Asia, and Middle East bureau chief. He also served as entertainment columnist for four national-level English-language newspapers in Thailand and Cyprus and was a consultant for such movie productions as The Deer Hunter, The Killing Fields, and Good Morning, Vietnam. Gary and his wife both attended the University of Virginia and met at the Wesley Foundation there, which is where, decades later, their son, Drew, also met his wife, Aimee. Gary and Evelyn were so taken with the Blue Ridge region that they bought property there before their first overseas tour and maintained and fulfilled their intention to retire to Charlottesville, where both continued to work in publishing until their ultimate retirement. They have two grown children and two granddaughters. After leaving government service, Gary had a second career as a freelance book editor, working almost exclusively for mainline book publishers, and as a writer.
