Washington, North Carolina, United States

Email: editormule@deadmule.com

Valerie Heinold MacEwan grew up under the Garrison Avenue bridge in Fort Smith, Arkansas, where she eeked out a meager living sorting mail for the King of the Gypsies. In 1972, after 10 of scrimping and saving, she had enough money to buy a portable JC Penney’s typewriter. She wrote her way through the next 20 years, returning to graduate work in US History, after taking 17 years to complete her BA. She quit grad school when her thesis topic, “A Conceptual Analysis of the Relevance of Concrete Chickens in the Southern Yard,“ was rejected by her committee.
