Have you ever considered writing your memoir? Have you had an interesting life? Do you believe you can express yourself in print in a compelling way? And what if you had to illustrate every chapter of your memoir with a painting that you created to depict the events that you were describing? Now that would be difficult, wouldn't it?
Annie Campbell recently published her memoir, "The Whore Next Door." This book is a revelation. Campbell's pithy prose details a compelling life story. During the 1960's Campbell was feeling the sweet bloom of youth while living her life to the fullest. The things she experienced, the people she met, and the adventures she had are described with a beguiling frankness. This book draws the reader in.
Campbell's water color paintings illustrate each chapter. Her prose is candid and entertaining. Her paintings are magnificent. This is one of the most beautiful books I have read in years. You can view her artwork at AnnieCampbell.org
