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.

Today while working on the new Suzy Q. book, tentatively titled “Hot Shot,” I found myself needing, for the purposes of humor, to verify that Koalas really do eat eucalyptus leaves as their main diet, and that this wasn’t some sort of freaky urban legend. (Hey, it could happen. It’s not like I’m keeping one as a pet.) And while doing this very innocuous research I came upon the following little-known fact that I absolutely had to share: Koalas have a bifurcated penis. They DO!
