By some quirk of virtual fate, you've reached katalyst.com,  John Chacona's vanity domain. 

This is something I've been meaning to do for quite a while but other things (unemployment, re-employment and the birth of my daughter) got in the way.  I'd say "better late than never" but only you can be the judge of that.  So wander around, poke into the dark corners of my psyche, and check out the site. 

You'll find adorable photos of my daughter Amy on the Amy Photos page (put up, incidentally, so that I wouldn't have to mail prints to interested fans).  This page will be updated as frequently as I shoot photos of Amy, which is to say almost daily. 

Speaking of photos, my friend John Vahanian shoots wonderful photos when the spirit moves him.  Some of them, recording several years of jazz concerts in our area, are at the Jazz Photos page.  You'll find Cecil Taylor, the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, Mose Allison and more.  Check it out.  They're good, they're for sale and Vahan could use the money. 

Money also motivated the My Book page.  I am a writer for hire.  I'm no novelist or deep thinker.  I write for money -- advertising, PR, direct marketing, fundraising, grants.  I've been doing it for 20 years and I'm pretty good at it.  And, because I live in Erie, PA where the cost of living is relatively low and the competition relatively fierce, I'm also pretty cheap.  Scan my virtual portfolio and see if anything strikes your fancy.  We'll talk, okay? 

The Neighborhood Watch page is for residents of the Greater Kahkwa area in Erie, PA, but you're free to stroll by.  It's a labor of love, kind of.  And, because I tend to have a sort of Attention Deficit Disorder, a virtual profile of my current interests, contacts, friends, enthusiasms and peccadilloes can be inferred from the Links  I cite. 

Please feel free to send me e-mail . Recommended topics:  the short fiction of Salman Rushdie, the pennant prospects of the Boston Red Sox (don't laugh!), Franz Joseph Haydn as proof of an enlightened God, your Final Four picks and how adorable you think my daughter is. 

As the chiropractor said, "Let's get cracking!"
