ABOUT HEARTBEAT RHYME
Paul Meincke
Author
Paul Meincke is a retired broadcast journalist who spent the vast majority of his 44-year career as a general assignment reporter for WLS-TV in Chicago. He's covered wars, political corruption, and more snowfalls than he cares to remember. Amidst that chaotic potpourri, Paul maintained a measure of sanity by often penning limericks and other irreverent verse while on company time. His bosses were only mildly amused.
Well before the author and illustrator began their collaboration, Larry - a man of many talents - installed new basement windows at Paul's house. That was over 30 years ago. The windows have never leaked. Paul is eternally grateful.
Larry Herweg
Illustrator
About Larry, it's been said, the man digs his sourdough bread!
He also digs all kinds of music, but long ago, it was art that captured his heart. Larry entered the working world with a degree in fine arts and would go on to manage a large advertising art studio in Chicago. Throughout his life, Larry has also shown himself to be something of a jack-of-all-trades. He's worked as a carpenter, heavy equipment operator, and run his own window and door installation company. (Thus, his visit to Paul's basement). Who would have known back then that Larry and Paul would one day link their passions?
