I felt terrible for having asked my readers to slog through October traffic over the hill for so little benefit. They were wonderful, though, very professional. They brought the show, even if Half Moon Bay didn't cough up the audience.I'm ...

- The Internet is such a wonderful place. Today, day five of my blog tour, I am in Florida with author Nancy J. Cohen talking about dialogue. Virtually speaking, that is.

- Writers live in their heads. What may be travel to you is location-scouting for me. In some ways, I’m never where I am. I’m imagining that place on the page in a future book. It won’t exist until I’ve written about it.I was standing on a deserted bridge across the Rhine in the Swiss town of Rheinfelden a couple of weeks ago in the evening twilight. The river flowed very fast. The rain was ...

- You know the reputation. "Swiss" isn't a nationality. It's really an adjective meaning highly organized and perhaps even a little too punctilious. That's a myth. The place is just like the Middle East... (Look, I write fiction, but I may be onto something. Read on.)On my recent reading tour, I stopped in Basel as a guest of the superb Literaturhaus Basel. Everyone told me to go the ...

- Last time I went south, the shuttle was so late getting me to the airport that I panicked about missing my flight. Then the airline stranded me in Burbank at the end of the weekend. Traveling was much better this time around.I had a soft landing at my friend Daniel's in West Hollywood.
