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.

Bringing the funny, bringing the noise
It's Saturday afternoon, and you could be at home watching golf on T.V. Again. You know what's going to happen. Tiger is going to win. He's going to wear fourteen versions of the Nike swoosh, and he's going to do the arm pump thing, which - let's face it - is getting a little tired.
OR
You could come out to Culver City, and see three of L.A.'s funniest writers try to out-funny one another for FREE. Oh, and I'll be there, too.
We're going to have Bill Fitzhugh, who wrote perhaps the best line in any humorous crime novel ever. It's on page 45 of THE ORGAN GRINDERS. And all I'll say is that it involves monkeys. Big, stanky monkeys. Next up is Sue Ann Jaffarian, author of not one but two hysterical series, whose best known heroine, Odelia Grey, is a "middle-aged, plus-size paralegal trying to cruise in an ill-fitting bra." And finally we welcome Laura Levine who, when she's not writing novels like the latest DEATH BY PANTYHOSE, is crafting jokes for Garrison Keillor. (And you thought he wrote them himself. Ha.)
And the whole mess will be moderated by yours truly, A.H. Ream. But you can call me Ashley. You know, 'cause we're buddies.
Everyone will be happy to answer all your most inappropriate and personal questions after the panel, and books will be available for purchase and signing from our very best friends at The Mystery Bookstore.
Details:
Saturday August 25th
2 p.m.
Culver City Julian Dixon Library
4975 Overland Ave.
Culver City, CA 90230
See you there!
