I live in Pittsburgh, yes, but I am a Hoosier

I thought I might say a few words about what brought me to Smaller Indiana. I’m a Hoosier native. I’m a writer (both my books are about Indiana) and a college professor. My academic teaching career has taken me all over the United States: Alabama, Minnesota, Baltimore, New Jersey, and now Pittsburgh, which (believe it or not) was as close as I could get to home. I often joke with my

Cathy: I heard you interviewed on Art of the Matter on WFYI a few weeks ago. I ended up sitting in the parking lot of Marsh for about 5 minutes to hear the end of the interview. I have Comeback Season on my list of books to buy. Glad to see that you're active here.

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
