pop culture. roller derby. dog shows.

all this hi-tech agery has got me jonesin' for the low. so, i dig old cameras, inventions and random gadgetry. i am also down with the turn-of-the-century goodness that was the 1893 chicago's world fair, also known as the columbian exposition.

    Ok, the waiting is killing me.!

    I sent A Demon Awaits , to the printer on Sunday. I'm waiting for a proof and it's driving me nuts.

    I read the latest screenplay Tuesday and I thought it was fabulous. Marla has done a fantastic job bringing Sin and Vengeance to life. Now I'm waiting for news about that, too.

    M'sieu.

    Happy, happy, happy birthday!

    Hope you sell a million copies of your book -- that'd be a swell present. If it happens? That was me. I hoped for it.

    Don't worry. I'll only take a .

    Hey, we really enjoyed your set at B&N today! That is, my wife & the little one did -- I was stuck on a teleconference in the parking lot. Good to see you in person, tho. Do you get many bossy little kids who tell you where on the page to sign your book? :-)

    Looking forward to catching your next reading in Austin!

    Hi again,

    Animal Band definitely made it to the top of The Cricket's booklist -- burned right past Go, Dog, Go, Giraffe's Can't Dance, and even Mo Willem's Knuffle Bunny. She loves not only Rock, Thomas, and Walter, but also the hippo and the hep-cat lion. If we didn't already have plans Weds eve we'd come see/hear you at BookPeople. Hope that's not just a one-time gig. :-(

    Hey there! I was going through some boxes and found some copies of Oklahoma Accent Magazine. Remember that? You did the comic strip in it. :) My mom says to tell you helllo. She has a friend who has written a childrens book but needs it illustrated. If you would like I can give you my mom's number. She lives in Dallas now.
