January 2006


Great news! Borders has invited me to do a reading and book signing at their swanky Santana Row book store down at the Valley Fair/Westfield shopping mall in San Jose. The date is Saturday, March 18 at 1:00PM. Hope to see you there. I’ll be the one in the blue wig!

It’s a dark and stormy New Year’s Day here in California. But I refuse to let the weather dampen my spirits! I saw NARNIA over the break and it was wonderful. If you’ve read Joseph Campbell’s THE HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES, you’ll be struck, as I was, by how closely it follows the mythical paradigm that also guided me as I wrote PRISONERS UNDER GLASS.

If you have any comments or questions about my story or about writing in general, please click on that little heading that says “No comments” and then write me. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

Okay it’s back to work now, preparing for a presentation on writing and publishing which I’ll be giving at Oak Elementary School early in the new year. I’m very excited about it.

Happy 2006, everybody!
