Sat, 19 Jul 2008: Where things stand
With the electronic rights tied up for the next four years on the books that came out most recently from Renebooks, and in some cases longer for earlier works because they were sold as a series instead of individually, I’m looking at having to wait a total of eight years from original publication to any [...]

Thu, 10 Jul 2008: One bigot too many
There were too many M’s.
My mother, generally referred to as Mickey or Mitten.
My grandmother, whom we called Mama or Mama Gertrude depending on the situation.
And my great-grandmother, who insisted upon being called Mammy.
Mammy’s grandmother, as she told me when I was ten, was a ‘woman of color’ from New Orleans. She whispered and hissed the [...]

You simply jumped to an unfounded conclusion and were rather nasty [...]
Mon, 09 Jun 2008: I am a Homophone
I admit to the existence of my homophonic hatreds. Homophones drive me nuts. No matter how hard I try, they just get under my skin. I do not believe that homophones should have the right to marry. Marriage should be limited to a verb and a noun. God did not [...]
Sun, 08 Jun 2008: How I lost my name.
My awareness of the situation began with a phone call. It was February of 1986. Roughly two weeks after my second piece, War of the Worlds came out in the Washington Post Bookworld. A friend of H’s called to congratulation him on several articles he had out in prestigious spots.
