Dispatches from the City of Angels

I'm a mystery writer living in and writing about Los Angeles. You can catch my short story, "Running Venice," in the new anthology LAndmarked for Murder. Look for it in bookstores and on Amazon.com now. 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.

Most Recent Twitters:
A 3-foot long alligator was found walking down the middle of the street in Venice Beach this morning. I love L.A.

In case you were wondering, it is very difficult to get a hummingbird out of your house. They are irrational and prone to hysterics.


L.A. Finds:
The Nickel Diner on Main between 5th and 6th is a made-to-look-old, throwback of a place that melds into the old downtown and is, at the same time, part of the renaissance. They serve their burgers medium, their soda in bottles and offer all they can to locals in need.


Flickr Updates:
The second Thursday of every month is the Downtown Art Walk. The galleries stay open late, the restaurants are packed, bands perform on the streets. God, I love L.A.

Signings, bookstores and bears, oh my!

Okay, I’ve only had about a third of my daily allowance of caffeine so far, so that’s my excuse. Several people have been asking about the upcoming anthology, where they can buy it and if I’ll be anywhere to sign it. And I didn’t know. So today, like a sane person, I actually dropped a note to the editors and ASKED. Why I didn’t do this sooner, I don’t know. Some days, it’s amazing you get your shoes on the right feet, ya know?

So here’s what he said.

It’s too early to actually have stores or interviews or signings booked. BUT he expects that things will be similar to the last anthology they did. With the last one, books were available on Amazon.com, independent bookstores and on special order from any bookstore. There were several signings in the L.A. area for those who wanted to stop by and meet the authors. And this time, they are hoping to book a few radio interviews and the like, too.

As soon as things firm up and dates start swimming around, I’ll post here and on the new website.

Take care, and we’ll see you in the bookshop!
