NOSEY BIO: Loud, brass, and tastelessly attired, I.B. Nosey is famed for his exuberant “Greetings, cybernuts! This is I.B. Nosey, your official unofficial reporter!” He seeks answers to the kind of probing questions no accredited journalist would deem intelligent, let alone newsworthy enough, to ask. Fleet of foot, wide of mouth, and fluent of tongue-in-cheek, I.B. Nosey’s unique interviewing style is comparable to none.

Winner of the Pukelitzer Award. Spokesman for Gum Drop Island’s confectionary plantation. Featured in InD’Tale magazine and The Woven Tale Press.

 February 5 question - Has a single photo or work of art ever inspired a story? What was it and did you finish it?


NOSEY: *puff, puff, puff* Greetings, cypernuts! *bursts into room and pants* This is - I.B. Nosey, your - *swallows* your official unofficial reporter! *slumps against wall* Whew! Being a Pukelitzer award winning journalist-celebrity keeps a guy athletic, uh huh. Fans are after me, Alex. Whoa, I barely got here in time to answer this month's question.

*Turns around to stare up at cinema-sized blog* Oh, yeah, there it is! A photo, huh? Hm, it maybe wasn't a work of art, but it sure inspired Miss Mae. Yep. Click link. See, in 1989 when Hurricane Hugo whacked the funny bones of folks in South Carolina, Miss Mae watched what was going on at her residence in Savannah. So she saw photos, news clips, bunches and bunches and bunches of stuff. Yeah!

*Shudders* That event left an impression, all right. Inspired her to write a mystery set in her own made-up island in South Carolina during a cat 4 hurricane.
