Hello There! Welcome. 
I'm George Penney, a #sff #comedy #fantasy #mystery author who writes with my lovely partner, Tony Johnson (AKA the Kraken). I also sometimes write snort laugh #books under the name Evie Snow, which are in the process of being republished. I have a couple of podcasts too.
I'm a cultural omnivore and am interested in a ridiculously wide range of topics from #history to #art to #music #science #travel #plants #animals #cats and I love anything #weird and wonderful.
Until recently, I house sat globally full-time so people who've followed me for a bit would have seen me around recording the various sagas of my (mainly) feline overlords.
Lately I have settled in a delightful small city in Aotearoa New Zealand and I frequently share bits and pieces from my wanderings out and about.
I love meeting new people, so feel free to say hi!😊 I might take a little bit to reply because I'm usually a bit behind on a writing deadline but I do my best to get back to everyone.

For my parents generation, people born during the 1930s, mass consumption of music and other arts became the norm.
Instead of playing music being social being something that unites us, the consumption of music and art became an identity marker, a signal of status, of wealth.
And since the stories about music and the arts are written for mass consumption, they only focus on famous people, their hubris, betrayals, and their tragedies.
From cradle to grave, we have been trained as commodified people, taught the pseudo-science of Social Darwinism as self-evident human nature.
The isolation of relentless competition for status and wealth now defines many relationships, and so define arts.
For thousands of years most art was folk art, that was its purpose, its function; it was already naturally “democratized”.
