What do you want people to know about your writing or your life? JORDAN SCHNITZER All I have ever wanted to do was make a positive difference in the world. It’s why I worked as a newspaper reporter, taking poor wages for more than thirty years, and it’s why I write fiction now. My only regret in life is that when I was young, I prioritized marriage and security over my education. After reading my answer to your first question, people may think that I hate men, but the opposite is true: my best friend of 33 years is a man (Rich Myers, in Montana) and he has never bored me for even a tiny moment. The sad fact is that I love men too much, as you’ll see in my upcoming autofiction series, “I’ve Had a String of Men.” For more about Sherry Jones go to her website: https://authorsherryjones.com “Bitches of Yore” launched Sunday, July 12 at https://www.authorsherryjones.com/blog or https://www.bitchesofyore.com https://museum.wsu.edu/events/ jordanschnitzermuseumofartwsublacklivesmatterartistgrantprogram/ September | October 2020 33
