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.
Internet thing I have completely fallen for and still feel ashamed about: Kids endorsing Obama via YouTube. Obviously this is the parents’ doing—and really, you could teach your child worse things to memorize. But man, I get suckered by them every time. I can’t recall my mom and dad egging me on to do a Dukakis video, but I guess in 1988 viral had a different meaning, and I was much more into Olympia in Steel Magnolias than Michael at the time.
In any case, this girl is sort of amazing.
