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.
From the press release slushpile: “Beer Island (3070 Stillwell Ave in Coney Island) now has its very own brand new BBQ Truck. It’s owned and run by Chris McGee, a veteran of Blue Smoke and Jean-Georges.”
I may think myself a woman of discerning taste, but to be honest, I’ll go anywhere called “Beer Island” in about two seconds. Who’s coming with?
