ahream 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.

Productivity declining. L.A. Finds: The Denver omelet at Pat's in Topanga is sublime in its simplicity. Exactly what you need and nothing else, much like the restaurant itself snuggled smack in the middle of an old hippie community where the peace signs and tie-dye still reign. 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.

T.V. networks are trying to get the Writers Guild to accept unfair terms by yanking contracts and jobs from non-writers. It’s a win-win for them. They save money on salaries AND stir up unrest between colleagues. It’s a no-good, rotten, back-stabbing, coward’s way to negotiate. And some members of the Guild are hitting back. You can go to www.strikeswag.com and buy t-shirts, tank tops and bracelets with strike slogans. All proceeds go to non-writers whose jobs have been effected by the strike. I bought myself a brand-spanking new t-shirt. I hope you will, too. And I hope my friend gets her job back. And I hope the writers get the contract they deserve. And I don’t think those things are mutually exclusive. Read/Post Comments (2) Previous Entry :: Next Entry Back to Top
