RECENT HAPPENINGS
---------------------------------------------------- Great friend F. Andrew Taylor found another forum for his seminal “Waiting For The End of The World,” which was cosmically satisfying in its last incarnation (and featured both me and the redhead, at one point). Check it out, now that Y2K has passed, and the urgency has dissipated. Read it.
---------------------------------------- - I recently submitted my responses to The Fabulist Flash’s “18 Questions.” Props to Greg! You can check them out here.
- The View News featured 1,001 Things in their Literary Las Vegas column. Thanks to Ginger at The View! You can see it here.
- I did a radio interview on Nevada Public Radio’s “State of Nevada” show on 22 MAY 07. You can listen to it here.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ REWARD OFFERED:
I have been looking for a book/story for several weeks now. Anyone who can give me the correct title/author, thus leading to my acquisiton of the book, will received a free, autographed copy of my book 1,001 Things To Do If You Dare; I’ll even pay for postage!
Here’s what I can remember about the book:
- A guy has a dog that can understand English. -- The dog is NOT telepathic. -- The dog CANNOT speak. -- I think the dog is a golden retriever. - They live in a major metropolitan area. - He takes the dog on a popular television program. -- The audience and viewers love the dog. -- The network execs and sponsors hate the dog. - The network hires someone to have the dog killed. -- The dog dies in a fight with a Doberman on an icy river. - The book was published some time prior to 1990, if I recall correctly.
This is driving me nuts-- thanks to anyone that can help! Send me an e-mail, please! |

Another blue-suiter-made-good, Jack Miller, has published yet another book, Cold War Defector. This time it’s a spy thriller, a sequel to his Cold War Warrior. Jack’s a great guy, and buys me beer. Which makes him even greater. Or cooler. Whatever. He lives in Vegas, too. Check out his WEBSITE.

Be sure to check out “Fly With Me,” the kickass podcast by airline pilot and fellow USAFA Grad Joe D’eon. Put it in your subscription list, and make it a regular listen. You will be pleased. It’s right HERE. ________________________
Two words:
- In October, I did another signing with good friend Daria Snadowsky, over at the Flamingo Library in Las Vegas. It rocked. I sold a couple of books, even. Then we got to see each the following week at the big Vegas Valley Book Fest, where we both did signings at the First Friday event. Old friends Andy Hartzell and F. Andrew Taylor were there, too! It kicked much buttocks.

YOWZA! These two knockouts read passages from each other’s book at a recent signing I attended. For those of you sadly unaware, that is Christa Faust on the left, next to Sue Ann Jaffarian. They were promoting their new books at the Sisters In Crime chapter meeting in Los Angeles this past Sunday (the 3rd of Feb.)...and the nice SinC people asked me to speak about computer security and such things. It was a blast! Be sure to check out their books-- I am sure you won’t regret it! |

Had another signing recently, on the 16th of February...and the nice folks at the Barnes and Noble on Maryland Parkway in Las Vegas did me up RIGHT! Check out that window display-- yeah, I’m a real author, all right. COOL!
Mucho thanks to Corey, Brooke, Deanne, Debbi, Houston, and everybody else who made me feel at home! It was a really fun event. Truly. |

So there are a couple of authors you should check out: Eric Stone and Ryan Anderson.
Eric is a good buddy, fellow writer, and editor of the newsletter for the Mystery Writers of America, Southern California chapter. He knows his way ‘round some dim sum, let me tell ya.
Ryan Anderson is a true surprise: a polite beauty with some wicked writing talent. I’ve read her first book, and am glad I did. Check her out: http://tiptopwebsite.com/websites/index2.php?username=ryananderson&page=2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
