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.
Is it blasphemy that I sort of enjoy “Josie Sings Joni,” in which a girl on YouTube makes a valiant attempt at the voice? It could be seen as an exercise in being-barely-but-not-enough, or, glass full, an exercise in enough-but-just-barely. And I’m feeling optimistic today!
Plus, Josie ALSO fronts a Kate Bush cover band called Hounds of Love. Maybe she’s my hero?
