me in the piazza

I'm a writer, publishing both as SJ Rozan and, with Carlos Dews, as Sam Cabot. (I'm Sam, he's Cabot.) Here you can find links to my almost-daily blog posts, including the Saturday haiku I've been doing for years. BUT the blog itself has moved to my website. If you go on over there you can subscribe and you'll never miss a post. (Miss a post! A scary thought!) Also, I'll be teaching a writing workshop in Italy this summer -- come join us!

Trip report: A morning in the park, Singapore

Staying in downtown Singapore, I began to miss greenery. Never mind that it's sunny and beautiful (which the locals are describing as "beastly hot") and the streets are tree-lined. I had a morning date with Ovidia Yu, a Singaporean writer,

and we decided to not go to the Botanical Gardens, our original plan, but to head for the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve instead. I set my SINGAPORE NOIR story in the area, and I mentioned the monkeys in the nature reserve though I hadn't seen them. Well, Ovidia and I had a lovely stroll through a bordering neighborhood,

a walk in the reserve itself,

and a delicious laksa lunch.

And the monkeys? As were were leaving the reserve, they came close to the road to see what we were all about.

Photo's not so good, but I've never seen wild monkeys before, so I thought it was grand.
