Let Us Now Praise Famous Fen
Fen: The plural of fan. Another word for "fans," as in people who like something, not cooling devices.

One of the greatest parts about the writing life is the chance it gives me to meet other writers--people whose work I love, and who, as it turns out, are huge fun to hang out
with. But one of the unexpecte

In a first novel I made the mistake of having the Chicago River flow the way most rivers flow, into larger lower bodies of water. Good guess, no? But it's wrong. Engineers have reversed the flow so that Chicago's sewage doesn't flow right into its fresh water intake. It was a small error but from then on I wanted to get everything right, even if the story could get along well with faking it. Even one of Ray Bradbury's short stories had the moons of Mars revolving the wrong way around the parent planet, and if you notice things like this, it's jarring.

- Hi Dusty, thanks for visiting my page and the kind words about Secondhand Smoke! (I've been on vacation and out of the loop, which is why I'm so tardy in responding!) I've got your new book in my TBR pile; can't wait!

- Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the murderati contest! Have The Devil's Hand at home to read (actually bought it after 'running into you' at TLC) this weekend (even though I'm also writing...). Those 'quotes' would make a great book by themselves.
