Wonder Dog Communications

Get a dog's eye view of life at the funny farm.

I write a humor/slice of life column called A Big Slice of Life every month for the Christian Voice Magazine, and occasionally do feature stories. (That's my cover on Third Day.) While I'm taking a break from daily music blogging, I still freelance for various music-related outlets. Oh, and these past humor columns, as well as several years of This Life columns, are available for reprint.

At joannebrokaw.com, you'll find archived This Life columns and a few links to articles from the past 10+ years.

This is a blog archive from past years, focusing mainly on writing. While I occasionally update this, the most recent blog is www.NotesFromTheFunnyFarm.com

For about two years, I wrote a column about writing for ByLine Magazine. Those columns are also available for reprint.

For more than two years, I've been blogging about Christian music at Beliefnet.com. While I have loved my time there, after more than a decade covering entertainment, I'm taking a break to focus on dog writing.

Yup, that's me. On a mission trip. To Mexico. Me, doing construction. With real tools! For years I've been working on a project I call 'Missions for Chickens', a book to encourage people to step out of their comfort zones. Guess I still have some work of my own to do, eh? You can read more on the Missions for Chickens blog. Just click the photo. A word of warning: the layout on the blog was lost during an update. So it's nothing fancy to look at.
