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 knew it! Raccoon gangs!
I. Told. You. So.
Clearly my run-in with wildlife-gone-wrong is not an isolated incident. (See "When Woodland Creatures Attack" Aug. 2nd.)
An Associated Press story on the Seattle Times website details the misadventures of a marauding, murderous band of raccoons wrecking havoc on local townspeople. Ten cats have been killed. The humans have taken to carrying mace and iron pipes to defend themselves. And - I swear I am not making this up - five of the masked bandits, who have obviously unionized, tried to CARRY OFF a small dog. Fortunately, the dog managed to escape and survived.
No word on what the raccoons were planning to do with the dog.
Read all the gory details for yourself:
