    Good to meet you! Good luck with your novel. I grew up in L.A. many years ago--graduated from Eagle Rock High School back when it couldn't win a football game and all the girls wore skirts to school.

    Thanks, Pam. Don't know about inventing anything, especially a genre, but I'm glad it sounds good to you. Hopefully there'll be a few hundred thousand people out there who agree with you!

    I have a good friend who bought a funeral home a couple years ago, and I've been working for him here and there. It's such a cool business! And the stories you come away with...

    My cousin worked at a funeral home for years and I live near a big cemetery so I'm writing next to all those warm graves.

    It was called Attack of the Mushroom People (or Matango in Japanese)

    Christ, I'm a dork...

  • pam ward

    I thought it was called something like that but the title seemed too obvious. Thanks so much. You are not a dork your are a sci-fi expert. I guess that would make me the dork, huh?
