HOME RUN- ITS BASEBALL KARMA

Philadelphian Ronnie Norpel is a dynamic storyteller, who uses various media to tell her tales: live performance, photography, journalism and now a novel, BASEBALL KARMA AND THE CONSTITUTION BLUES (Three Rooms Press). Norpel played ballgirl and season ticket sales champ for the Phillies and established their Fan Accommodations office. After earning her Wharton degree, she went into poetry for the money. While at Penn, Norpel picked up a camera and has been shooting ever since. In New York, she was muse and collaborator of Warhol Factory superstar Gerard Malanga. Her graduate education further included acting with Aaron Speiser in Hollywood. She has performed recently in a number of plays by cutting edge playwright Larry Myers, including as Beatnik Girl in his "Memo From Allen Ginsberg." Norpel is a member of DaVinci Art Alliance in Philadelphia and created PHILANATIC with painter Lilliana Didovic for the 2010 Phanatic Around Town public art project. Their statue auctioned for $12,000, with the project earning over $250,000 for Phillies Charities. Ronnie lives in New York. http://www.constitutionblues.com/
