Okay, so, Friday morning, we were all ready to go, right? Everyone in the car? “Mom, dammit, get out of the bathroom, let’s go!” So, ready to go. I get into the car and put in the iPod and say, “Chicken, you ready for the song?” And Mate says, “What’s so special about this song!”… Read More

August! But seriously– the picture was SOOOOOOOO purty. I mean… just… ADORABLE! And, well… Suggestive as all hell. Now I realize I write a certain kind of book. Where certain kind of things are going to happen. And pretty people are going to make naked music. I get this. But I sweartadog– SWEAR– that the… Read More

Guess what’s out tomorrow! No, not Making Promises, although it IS available for pre-order and is on the Coming Soon page! No, no– this is a much smaller release, but it is still sort of special, because, A. I just finished another shorty in the sequence, and so you know it’s not the last one…. Read More

lolol! Okay– for some reason the title tickles me, even though it sort of blends a couple of things about my weekend. On Sunday, we cleaned the house. (Pauses for cheers and applause.) Yes, you heard me. We sort of had an agenda– company for Sunday night. Probably THE most boring 4th of July ever–… Read More

*Yawn* One of the sad things about my hours in the summer is that I’m still up during the dark, small hours of the morning, doing writing business (as I call it) and often writing as well. Of course, one of the not-so-sad things, is that I often go back to sleep around six-thirty in… Read More

Look at him– I mean, you know… *Jesus*! Doesn’t he look like a Dashiell Hammett hero? Yeah. I always thought so. And if you read his obituary you’ll see that Dashiell Hammett had nothing on Grandpa. There has been some argument in the family as to where I got my eyes–are those Rau eyes or… Read More

Is pretty, yes? Yes, Amy. Is so very very pretty. You should be pleased. Why thank you, Mikhail. I think the artist captured the expression on your face perfectly! That’s supposed to be me? Is horrible. I look nothing like that! It makes my mouth look sulky! Well, your mouth DOES look sulky. It’s one… Read More
