  • The Encouragement To Try

    September 25, 2009

    • There are always firsts in our lives and today was my first author interview on The Writer's Edge.  I'm just a tad bit excited. Okay, very excited. Even if it helps one author decide what decision to make regarding their book, then it will be worthwhile. If it pleases you to check  it out, I hope you will, and possibly leave a comment on the Writer's Edge website underneath the post. Thank you ...

  • Having restrained myself from posting on ‘Ice Castles’ for two months, I now….

    September 16, 2009

    • …must tell you I had an incredible time being interviewed by reproductive health advocate Amanda Marcotte, especially once we mutually confirmed that, yes, once the girls of popular culture were allowed to have sex and it wasn’t a big deal. Witness Robby Denson and Lynn Holly Johnson, who ALREADY had an affair with an older sportscaster, go off to do it, unmolested. This will not happen in ...
  • Babbling Books

    September 15, 2009

    • I have been very slow and slothlike in updating the blog, and for this I blame a trip to Cape Cod, way too much country daintzing at my friend’s wedding and lots and lots expensive jar tuna with cornichons. HOWEVER. First of all, you can see that my events page has been updated with stuff coming up in ENGLEWOOD, NJ, BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, and MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN. It will soon be updated with ...

  • Musician-Artist Don Dean's Eclectic Human Condition

    September 12, 2009

    • Popular media references to the 1960s musical British Invasion headed by history-changing acts like the Beatles and Rolling Stones are far more common--at least on the U.S. side of the planet--than references to the corresponding African America's Rhythm and Blues invasion of the United Kingdom that took place during the same period. That was when classic giants of the genre--think Otis ...
  • In case anyone cares: An interview

  • Writing to Work and Working to Write

    September 10, 2009

    • I look at my career as a writer as something that involves more than one aspect in order to create the whole. I am at core a writer and my first love has always been creative writing, whether that is narrative nonfiction, fiction in all of its forms, or what have you. The problem is, despite my enjoyment of those forms, in order to earn a living I have to find work as a writer than seems and ...
  • Blog Talk Two

    September 5, 2009

    • I just finished being interviewed on blog talk radio, and all things considered, it went okay. Well,  there was that part where my mind went blank and I couldn't think of a single disease mentioned in A Spark of Heavenly Fire, couldn't think of a single biological warfare experiment that I researched. Sheesh. I spent years on the research. You'd think at least some of it would have come easily ...
  • WFMAD Day 28 - bitchin

    August 31, 2009

    • Bitch is the best name for a magazine ever.  Hands down.  Next time you see it on the newsstand, buy a copy. Next time you are puzzled about what to give someone who would love a "smart, snarky, hilarious, and feminist response to popular culture" you should buy them a subscription. The Bitch blog has one of the best interviews with me. Thank you, Ellen Papazian, for asking awesome ...
