Come Talk To Me

Two quick things this February morning:

— First, Wampus just published a nice Q&A with yours truly, exploring some of the ins, outs, and miscellaneous travails of the working writer. It was fun to dig into the meat of the creative process instead of the more prosaic questions that interviewers sometimes ask (“Where do you get your ideas?”). And yes, Believe In Me fans, work on the next book is underway.

— Second, in the tragedy surrounding the loss of one of the most memorable musical voices of her generation, Whitney Houston, I couldn’t help noting the emerging details: she was found in the bathtub, some reports say with drugs and/or alcohol on the counter nearby. Readers of the book will understand why those details caught my eye.

Take care of yourselves, and come on back soon.
