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.

New Book Tour Dates
Okay, you COULD go to the mall this weekend. You could go and drive around the parking lot looking for a space so many times your wheels wear a rut. Then you could go in and listen to "Jingle Bell Rock" over the PA system until your central nervous system starts misfiring. You could dodge small children with sticky peppermint candy hands, get stepped on, elbowed, bashed with shopping bags and have an Orange Julius spilled on your best new shoes.
Or you could come hang out with me and the other LANDMARKED FOR MURDER authors at some funky independent bookstores. You could do your shopping there, get your books signed and personalized to your loved ones - or your mother-in-law* - and support local business, democracy and world peace all at the same time.
In case you missed it, LANDMARKED FOR MURDER is a collection of Los Angeles crime fiction. Each story takes place around some of Southern California's most famous landmarks, making for the wickedest of travelogs.
Jackie Houchin on ValleyNews.com says of it and my contribution, "Running Venice," in particular:
"'Running Venice' is a non-stop, heart-pounding, terror-inspiring thriller."
"LANDMARKED FOR MURDER is the best of the Sisters in Crime/LA anthologies so far...You will have a hard time putting this one down!"
So for goodness sake, come see us!
