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.

The 1900s - Two Ways
Not to be confused with the 1990s, the 1900s are pretty much all I’ve been listening to this week. There is something about the sunny feeling of the 60s reimagined for today (with a singer that sounds like Carole King no less) that chases the blues away. Sort of like Belle and Sebastion except with seven people. Anyway, just take them for a spin.
