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:
Reading Tony Broadbent's book, The Smoke. It's too good. I'm losing sleep. Nocturnal pattern shot to hell. 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.


What I'm Reading:
The Smoke
by Tony Broadbent

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

Do as I say, not as I do

I think it’s important to keep a sort of mental list of all the things you should not do.

You should not, for example, stand too close to a tiger cage while carrying beef jerky in your pockets. You should not wear a necktie while leaning over a circular saw. And you should not chew a handful of hot peppermint candies while simultaneously flipping your head upside down to better adjust your ponytail.

You should not do this because it will cause hot peppermint to travel up the back of your throat and into your nasal cavity where it will proceed to burn like fire. And should this happen and should you decide the best course of action would be to blow your nose, be prepared. Your snot will be bright candy pink. Also, it will hurt.

This concludes my public service announcement.
