Author Biography
Writer, photographer, singer/songwriter, and longtime Huffington Post contributor, Lorraine Devon Wilke, started early as a creative hyphenate. First, there was music and theater, next came rock & roll ('80s, big hair, great music!), then a leap into film when a feature she co-wrote ( To Cross the Rubicon ) was produced by a Seattle film company, opening doors in a variety of creative directions. In the years following, she wrote for and performed on theater stages, developed her photography skills, and accrued a library of well-received feature screenplays. She kept her hand in music throughout - songwriting, recording, performing - leading to the fruition of the longtime goal of recording an original album ( Somewhere On the Way ). Accomplished in collaboration with songwriting/producing partner, Rick M. Hirsch, the album garnered stellar reviews and can be found at CDBaby and iTunes. She continues with music whenever she can (which, she maintains, is never, ever, enough!). Devon Wilke's current life is split between Playa del Rey and Ferndale, California, and is shared with her husband, Pete Wilke, an entertainment/securities attorney, and her son, engineer and web designer, Dillon Wilke. She curates and manages both her fine art photography site and her personal blog (www.RockPaperMusic.com), contributes regularly to The Huffington Post, and writes a column for award-winning newspaper, The Ferndale Enterprise. Her powerful short story, She Tumbled Down, is available on Amazon, and her upcoming novel, Hysterical Love), is currently available for preorder and will be published on April 7, 2015.
