Stephan "Spartacus" Pastis recently attempted to sign up an account on Facebook for his mostly-autobiographical character Rat. Listed as "Pearls Rat," it lasted for less than a week before Facebook deleted his account because Rat wasn’t a real person. I get the rules…but I have to say, I’m bummed. Stephan doesn’t have a website, or a blog, or a…
Sunset on the Pier 43 Arch I had a free afternoon this time in San Francisco, so I explored Fisherman’s Wharf through the lens of my camera. Ghirardelli Park, the shipyard at the Hyde Street pier, Alcatraz, the Coit tower, Golden Gate bridge, Golden Gate park and greenhouse, hilly streets, trolley cars… I’m always conscious of the fact that…
Forget Twilight. This is The Movie. It’s been "in development" for at least 15 years. I remember all the Box Office blue sheets from my seven-year stint at The Movies at Polo Road back in the 90s. Rob sent me this picture today. The night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind or another…
If you have the opportunity, you need to see Let The Right One In, if only for the scene where Oskar gets Eli to come into his apartment uninvited. A subject that’s not often broached regarding vampires. The film was dark and subtle, and most of the dialogue was spoken with the eyes, so you had plenty of time…
I was gazing out the airplane window at this view over the Rockies and thinking: Gee, this looks familiar. Once upon a time, I had never been west of the Mississippi River. This year, I’ve been in the Denver airport (to change planes AND as a destination) so many times I’ve lost count. Now that I’m done traveling for…

Roller Girls: Missy, Kitti & Lillie I’m not quite sure what was missing last Thursday night — whatever it was, I certainly didn’t Bring It to the skating rink. My energy was in the toilet. Happily (happily?) I had a manuscript in my bag, so I edited a few pages…and then a few more pages…and then a few more…
It’s official — Sherlock’s Books is my new favorite bookstore. It helps that it’s only about 20 miles from my house, a lovely, backwoods, straight-shot, non-interstate drive. And doing it mid-November when all the leaves are changing — well, whichever ones didn’t just turn brown and fall already due to yet another heat-lamp summer — it was a pretty…
Sherrilyn Kenyon, a passel of other authors and I will be doing a local signing (I know, they’re rare…) at Sherlock’s Books (support your local Independent Bookstore!) on Saturday, November 8th. I’ll have some Beauty & Dynamite on hand! See you there!

Or: "Capering about in a loose-limbed, vaguely simian manner." Worth every penny. From Chad: I hope this meets my obligation, and provides three and a half minutes of entertainment to stop you hitting "refresh" on your favorite poll-watching site during election day. Many thanks to those of you who donated, even if it did force me to make an…
I’ve been a lot of things in my life,…
I’ve been waiting for over ten years to finally…
If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve…
