Homer News: Local author Brian Smith writes about history, family and felines The author of three self-published books, Smith is now working on the final installment of his trilogy.
In “Golden Boy: The Rock ‘n’ Roll Diary of My Life,” local author Brian Smith explores not only his early childhood growing up in Anchorage but also his artistic journey as a filmmaker and screenwriter over his 60 years of life. He writes about everything, from his experiences of the 1964 earthquake as a child to his artistic growth over the years.

“There are huge hunks of me, my heart and soul on every page,” he said, during a June 23 interview. “It’s brutally honest, but it flowed. I didn’t even outline it, and I outline everything.”
