Dispatches from the City of Angels
I'm a writer and humorist living in and writing about Los Angeles. You can catch my novel LOSING CLEMENTINE out March 6 from William Morrow. In the meantime, feel free to poke around. Over at my website you can find even more blog entries than I could fit here, as well as a few other ramblings. Enjoy and come back often.

Photo shoots in porn theaters, evil Russian models stealing your food, your apartment building catching on fire, blood-inducing glittery eyeshadow... And all reported with remarkably good humor, which just makes it all the more readable.
And if the voyeuristic joys weren't enough, you get to think to yourself in complete honesty, "Thank God I'm not a six-foot-tall, 100-pound, stunningly beautiful woman or I too might have to live in a flooded hovel that electrocutes me when I step out of bed. But for the grace of God go I..."
