“Something About the Author,” volume 278 (!)

In the fall of 2014, I was notified that I had been selected to appear in the next volume (#278!) of Something About the Author, a reference book published by Gale (Cengage Learning). 

Note: not actual volume.
I knew nearly nothing about this series but a quick search showed that it seemed kosher (in fact an honor) to proceed.

The book sells for $222 so I will be storing my copy at the library.
