More About Postcards:
Welcome to “Postcards from the Funny Farm.” I’m Damien Riley: dad, teacher, author in Southern California. I’ve been interested in creative writing since I was in the 4th grade and my interest in the guitar started even sooner. I started teaching elementary school in 1997 after a run with my band and a try at commercial songwriting success. You can read more about that time and hear the songs on my Myspace page. Now, after 10 years of teaching and publishing both online and off, I am pleased to produce three blogs I update nearly daily. Postcards is my most infamous with a loyal base of readers and new friends stopping by each day. I earned my MA in English from California State University, Fullerton in 1998 where I majored in English. My emphasis was made specifically for future college teachers: “Language, Writing, and Rhetoric.”
I met my wife Sarah when I moved to the High Desert of California in 2002. Since then we have commenced raising a family with three kids and we became homeowners in 2008. Much of my past writing has included family stories and they are always giving me new material.
With blogging, or “speed publishing,” what I write is often gone forever after a few hours. That’s why I try to make it relevant and not too long. I think I’ve been successful at that and made it a habit for a while now. In addition to publishing on my three blogs, I write articles across the web. Here’s a link to an archived list that’s always growing.
There are also a few interviews of me out there on the internet. Thank you again to the blogs who host them.:
