My New Book! The Sorcerer From California, a Wild...
Kinda big news: My new book The Sorcerer From California is now available in paperback and Kindle edition. It’s the first of a series I’m calling the Adventures of Moko & Zaya, and it’s based on stories that I told my son Zev when he was 5 (more on how that all came about later). The keys to these stories were always: Cliffhangers, high adventure, and lots of monsters. We came up with so...
My Day With Newt Gingrich. Or Rather, His Skull
Way back in 1995, when Newt Gingrich was at the peak of his power and making a whole lot of noise in Congress, I was a (very green) newspaper reporter in Virginia.

Former Child Wizard: The real Harry Potter, grown...
A little story I did for E! Online years ago, when Chamber of Secrets first came out. It’s not on the site anymore, and we certainly don’t do stuff like this these days, so I’m reprinting it here. You know, for kicks:
Nobody at the little girl’s birthday party knows who the magician in the round glasses and pointy blue hat really is, and they wouldn’t believe it anyway. The...

WatchNew Thundercats series trailer. I watch a lot of Cartoon Network already, but this won’t be making the cut. If I so needed a nostalgia kick, I’d find the original.
