Writer/editor. New Mexican tumbleweed blown east to skyscraper country.
Right now, I am working on a book about F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sheilah Graham, and Hollywood in the 1930s. It will also contain a lot of drinking, powder blue suits, dances at the Cocoanut Grove, betrayal, gossip columns, crazy ladies, secret Jews, film lot moguls, and Dorothy Parker quips at funerals. If the world is still around then, it should be out from Random House around 2014. So let's hope the Mayans were wrong.
If you want to say hi please do. Or find me in short form, here.
A new site, billed as a “cultural blogging exchange,” Inside the Arts features blogs on what it’s like to run symphonies, theaters, and other non-profit orgs in 2008. I’m happy to see that Joe Patti of the great Butts in the Seats (a blog about actually getting people to attend) has jumped on board. It’s worth a look; though I’m more interested to see what happens when they have more than just white dudes from the Midwest writing for the site.
