Greetings! My name is Shane Shellenbarger and these are the things which strike my fancy. Areas of expertise and adventure designed to augment our existence.
I first became aware of James Sallis in March of 1999. Jim was introduced to the Glendale Community College audience by Harlan Ellison at a talk Ellison was giving in Arizona.
I read and enjoyed Sallis's series of mysteries about Lew Griffin, a New Orleans private detective. In the Fall of 2004, I attended a short story class Sallis was conducting at Phoenix Community College and I've attended his classes each semester since that time. I credit Jim with any improvement I've made in my writing ability and hold him blameless for any mediocre writing on my part.
Below is an interview Barbara Peters of Poisoned Pen Press and Bookstore, in Scottsdale, Arizona conducted with James Sallis. Each part is approximately 10 minutes in length.
I'm always thinkin' 'bout it I don't know what I'd do without it I love, I really love My pancreas
My spleen just doesn't matter Don't really care about my bladder But I don't leave home without My pancreas
My pancreas is always There for me Ahh-oooh
Secreting those enzymes (bap bap bap) Secreting those hormones too Metabolizing carbohydrates Just for me
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba My pancreas Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba-ba ba My pancreas Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba My pancreas Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba-ba ba My pancreas

My pancreas attracts every other Pancreas in the universe With a force proportional To the product of their masses And inversely proportional To the distance between them
