		<title>OFF THE MAP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Announcing The Very Short Tour . . Unlike last year, when I plowed a 9200-mile furrow through the highways of this great nation, this year I&#8217;m doing a dinky little loop of maybe 3500 miles.  And I&#8217;m hoping against hope that some people will actually brave the elements to come see me.  I&#8217;ve put together [...]]]></description>

		<title>En Espanol, No Less</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whoa &#8212; I speak Spanish! This is EL CUARTO OBSERVADOR, the Spanish edition of THE FOUR LAST THINGS, a really beautiful edition by the Barcelona publisher ViaMagna. My favorite line is the one I first opened to, &#8220;El helado de Miaow se esta derritiendo,&#8221; or as I more prosaically put it, &#8220;Miaow&#8217;s ice cream is melting.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>SQUEAL on Kindle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, this is a shameless plug. All of you who have written to me over the years, demanding to know what happened to poor old Simeon Grist (and there have been literally hundreds of you) can now re-read him for PRACTICALLY NOTHING &#8212;  I MEAN, WE&#8217;RE ALMOST GIVING THEM AWAY &#8211; on Amazon&#8217;s tidy little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quoting Myself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jean Henry Mead, who under the name S. Jean Mead is responsible for the wonderful Maverick Writers,  is running an interview with me right now at her very good site, Mysterious People.  It&#8217;s actually a re-posting of an earlier interview, with some new introductory material about THE QUEEN OF PATPONG, but further down, in the older [...]]]></description>

		<title>WE GOT WINNERS!!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The copies of MAVERICK WRITERS have been awarded, and also two, um, booby prizes.   Okay, three, count &#8216;em, three winners. Sylvia for the Plath/Roddenberry mind-meld, which made me laugh out loud; Suzanna for Lahiri and Eugenidesm who I actually think would kill each other; and fairyhedgehog for the tag team of Clarke and Atwood.

		<title>Happy Trails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I like to do with this blog is pass along the kind of inspiration that writers can get only from other writers.  Often, this material has the added benefit of offering insight into the creative process. I&#8217;ve been reading a wonderful book edited by S. Jean Mead, Maverick Writers: Candid Comments [...]]]></description>

		<title>Me and Stephen King</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Stephen King and I have something in common.  Neither of us writes for money. Of course we have different reasons for not writing for money.  Stephen King doesn&#8217;t write for money because he doesn&#8217;t need any.  He&#8217;s already made approximately 23% of all the money in the world. I don&#8217;t write for money because I [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;QUEEN&#8221; ON VIDEO</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Premiere!  Premiere!Thanks to the inexhaustible creativity of my maybe best friend in the whole world, Shadoe Stevens, we&#8217;ve got a KILLER video on THE QUEEN OF PATPONG. As much as I&#8217;d like to put the screen up right here on this site, I don&#8217;t know how to do that and I am unwilling to learn [...]]]></description>

		<title>One Mo Stah</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s BOOKLIST!!! The second of the four publishing trades has just run its review, and this one is also accompanied by a star.  Two for two, so far. Also, I have to tell you that this review knocks me out.  The guy who wrote it likes the same things I do. You have to imagine [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Smirkus from Kirkus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kirkus Reviews is the trade publication known for being somewhat sparing with praise and, occasionally, for running reviews that are absolutely scathing.  So it&#8217;s with a light heart and a certain amount of relief that I announce that the Kirkus review of THE QUEEN OF PATPONG is an out-and-out RAVE, complete with star.A star, in [...]]]></description>
