A novel by Stuart Schwartz
A novel by Stuart Schwartz
I had an extremely satisfying and productive thirty-five year career as a university professor. During twenty-four of those years I also held the position of public information officer for my local fire department.
My significant writing accomplishments have included four college textbooks, thirty-nine refereed journal articles and twenty workbooks and learning kits for high school students. Until now all of my publications have been non-fiction.
My husband and I love living in San Diego. We enjoy the weather, our friends, the cultural opportunities and, of course, the awesome beaches. Travel is always high on our to-do list. In addition to writing I do a significant amount of volunteer work in our community.
"Lights On-Clothes Off—Confessions of an Unabashed Exhibitionist," is my first novel. My next fiction piece is titled, "I'll be Naked at Six."
One of my early reviewers asked if my manuscript was an autobiography or a memoir. Another person bluntly asked if I was an exhibitionist. Those were fair and expected questions and others may have the same thoughts.
Posing for drawing and photo classes was my first college job. I took my clothes off, yes all of them, and stepped onto a posing stand in front of about twenty-five of my peers in 1963. It has been a part-time job and hobby for me ever since. Yes, I still pose sans clothing for life drawing groups and photo workshops.
I also worked for many years as a professional patient for various medical schools. The programs that hired me were for the training of medical students, nurse practitioner and physician students and for those studying to become navy corpsmen. Since the focus of their studies was the examination of the genitals and the prostate my nudity was, of course, required for those classes.
Given these two pursuits it's safe to assume that "some" of the descriptions in the book related to posing for art classes and training of medical students are based on my own experiences.
But what about the rest of the stories in the novel? That's up to you to decide.
