It has been suggested to me by someone close and intelligent that I not flaunt my political affiliation on this blog due to potential negative opinions about the kind of person I must be if it’s to get out that I’m a member of that other party. While I tend to agree and so have actually spent a good portion of my voting […]

I’ve decided that in addition to the word snarky (I cringe just writing it or even sounding it out in my head), the words that are bothering me most lately are the use of “prolly” to abbreviate probably and “brillz” as an abbreviation for brilliant.
Today I nearly lost my mind when I saw, and this is […]

I know, it has, but I’m busy, and I don’t have any new books coming out, and I don’t have any queries outstanding or any current plans to go through the query process again. I am writing a new book but I don’t want to talk about it because right now it’s just for me […]

Too stressed out to sleep, up at 4:30 a.m., now 5:36 a.m, still dark outside.
Writing an agenda for a conference call later this morning.
In a hurry to get it done before I go to work.
Did I mention it’s my day off?

I once worked with a guy who’d spent the majority of his adult life moving from place to place, most of these locations extremely international when compared to the everyday sanctuary of Los Angeles. During one of our conversations about books he mentioned that Graham Greene’s The Quiet American was among his favorites. I asked […]

I can admit to being slightly masochistic. I read blogs I hate to read, sleep late so I can dread having to go to the gym after work all day and lately, find myself watching a lot of TV that seriously makes me question American entertainment. The highlight of this last behavior has to be […]
