  • “Toss it in your pool bag.” –That’s What I’m Talking About

    Need a good summertime read? Who doesn’t? I honestly never thought about reading It Happened One Doomsday poolside, but that’s the verdict from book review site That’s What I’m Talking About. They especially liked the main character, Dru: “She was entirely genuine and charmingly unaware of her own talents. Dru is also innately charitable, unable to…

  • Blame Dan Aykroyd from Ghostbusters

    A few years ago, on a placid summer evening resonant with cicadas, I stepped out to buy a bottle of wine for my wife’s show at an art gallery. And there, in the corner of the store, sat Dan Aykroyd, promoting his new Crystal Head Vodka. You may not know this (I certainly didn’t at…

The end of the world shouldn’t be this much fun!” But there’s more! They also interviewed Yours Truly. I talked frankly about: – What inspired me…

  • Win a “magic crystal” at The BiblioSanctum!

    In my new book, IT HAPPENED ONE DOOMSDAY, I wanted to create an utterly unique system of magic. By chance, I had a conversation with Dan Aykroyd from Ghostbusters, who’s a big believer in the metaphysical properties of crystals. Weird. But weird stuff inspires me, so I decided to explore the idea of crystal magic……
