October 30th, 2012 I used to have an apartment within a ten minute walk from my mom’s house. At the end of her street was the local cemetery. Every time I walked past it, I would look in, and I started noticing little details about the place. In fact, every cemetery I’ve ever set foot […]
January 16th, 2013 What happens when you find yourself dating again after divorce?

There’s a great line in Tom Wolfe’s classic The Right Stuff, about the early days of the space program, where he talks about how test pilots who would fly high-performance jet aircraft on the heels of a mortal hangover. Wolfe quotes them as saying, “I don’t advise it, you understand, but it can be done.” Rain on Your Wedding Day by Curtis Edmonds […]
Every author takes inspiration from different types of books, but I’d guess that my inspiration for Public Attraction is especially unusual: Fifty Shades of Grey, Bared to You, and Pride and Prejudice.
