Julie A. Moser struggles to live life as a verb. While working toward a PhD in English with a concentration on manifest destiny in American literature, Moser works as a freelance reporter by spinning facts into easily digestible sound bytes and publishes Segue Into Living Arts, a New Hampshire arts tabloid. Moser draws inspiration from the world's playground and admires the playful investment seen in such artists as Gabor Szabo, Marquis DeSade, Nathaniel West, Michele Foucault and ferrets (past and present) Crash, Hendrix, Lucy, Shadow, Happy, Emmet and Wilbur.
