R.I.P. Thunder’s Mouth Press
I was surprised and saddened to learn from an article in Salon.com last week, and this article in the Los Angeles Times, that my publisher will soon be no more. As of, like, Thursday of this week. This has been confirmed by a few visits to the Publishers Group West and Perseus booths at the […]
A Columnist After My Own Heart

Single State Site
I just noticed that Diane Mapes has a new site for the Single State of the Union book that has an essay of mine titled “Single Blessedness.” I can’t make the book launch in Seattle in a few days, but hopefully it will be a big success for Diane and other contributors who are able […]
