Leonce Gaiter

Raised in New Orleans, Washington D.C., Germany, Missouri,
Maryland and elsewhere, Leonce Gaiter is the quintessential
army brat--rootless, restive, and disagreeable. He began
writing in grade school and continued the habit through his
graduation from Harvard. He moved to Los Angeles and put
his disagreeability to work in the creative and business
ends of the film and music industries.

His nonfiction writing has appeared in The New York
Times, The New York
Times Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington
Times, LA Weekly, NY Newsday, The Washington Post,
Salon, and in national syndication. His short fiction
has
appeared in the literary magazine Archipelago. His
thriller BOURBON STREET was published by Carroll &
Graf
in 2005. He currently lives in Northern California.

His lingering resentment remains not having been born with
the talent to play jazz.
