Meet the Author



Blumen was born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1945, and raised there in a relatively middle class family with two parents and four brothers. Between '63 and '75 (ancient history), he was in the army, which included a year in Korea; graduated from Middle Tennesse State University with a degree in Sociology, got married, had two beautiful children, worked as a banker, sold ATMs, got a divorce and hit the road. Whew! Blumen sums it all up this way: "I'm just a country boy, born in the city, and raised in too many directions. No wonder I became an actor."

Presently, Blumen lives in Santa Clarita Valley, just a few miles north of Los Angeles, with his long time girlfriend, Katie. He works as a substitute teacher, a freelance bartender, and when he can get the work, as an actor. Oh yeah... he's still writing.

    If you want to feel like Blu

    This is a second read for me. A gift I received from a friend. The first time I was set upon with such a regretful longing for things I let pass from my life, that I thought something might be wrong with me and I had to sit down and examine my past. But in picking up Blu¿s book again to see where I went wrong, experiencing the longing and regret set within these pages once again, I happily realize that it wasn¿t my life I was experiencing in these words it was Blu¿s, merely moving me to feel what he felt in writing them. His words are written so simple and so honestly I was first fooled at how easily I identified with each poem and song depicting the lining of Blumen Young¿s tender heart. Between the covers of this book is a man¿s soul opening up before me, a gentleman with gentle words, who made me feel the things he touched in his life so clearly I suffered the burn from his self-image. It¿s like what I get when I leave a movie house after experiencing a great story. All day, I walk like Blu, I talk like Blu and I feel like Blu¿ until I am¿ Mild & Partly Cloudy. Karl J. Niemiec - Mammoth Towers Mysteries (Apartment 101)
