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.

I'm sorry. I'm calling in gay.
I was going to write a witty, insightful, joyously entertaining blog today. But I can't. I'm calling in gay, you see.
There's a big, two-day crime writers' conference coming up. I'm responsible for a quarter of the faculty and programming. I have people I need to be contacting, details I need to be ironing out, confirmation letters I need to be writing. But I can't. I'm calling in gay, you see.
I have a short story workshop I'm organizing. Time is a ticking. But I can't finish it. I'm calling in gay, you see.
I've got about a dozen speaking events to organize for the new year, authors and venues to wrangle, book sales to arrange, publicity to drum up. But I can't. I'm calling in gay, you see.
In protest of the anti-gay ballot measures in California, Arizona, Arkansas and Florida, thousands of people of all sexual orientations are "calling in gay" and instead using their time to support human rights causes.
This isn't a religious issue or a moral one. It's a human rights issue. It's an issue of equality. And today, I'm gay. And I'm not coming in.
