About

Keli Garson is the nom de plume of a writer and attorney (in that order) who required anonymity to avoid possible interrogation by those that wished to know exactly whom she was referring to as stupid. Names, of course, are changed to protect the innocent (Keli) from the guilty (stupid persons or stupers, for short). It is not Keli’s intention to hurt anyone’s feelings, run for public office, or search meaningfully for four-leaf clovers (she’s already found enough). Her articles and essays have appeared in numerous national magazines and local publications under her real name.

In her rich and varied legal career, Keli has worked everywhere from the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers to Warner Brothers’ Studios. She left to pursue a career in nursing…her infant son, that is. She is adept at dispensing movie reviews and chewing gum to anyone who crosses her path. Keli is a great admirer of charming conversationalists, but does not care for parasites or religious fanatics. She also enjoys watching “The Nanny” reruns, Sidney Poitier movies, listening to any song sung by Paul Rodgers and eating yogurt with raisins (though not necessarily all at the same time).

She believes the most precious gift you can give another person is your time. She also believes this gift should be withheld from all stupers.
