I'm a writer with four novels and more than two dozen short stories published. The best known is probably my novel China Mountain Zhang. A collection of my short stories, called Mothers and Other Monsters, was published by Small Beer Press in July '05.

Blogs I Follow
Eat Our Brains The brain child of Steve Gould.
Chrononaut Log David Moles smart and funny observations. Actually, what I really love about his log is the design, which fills me with envy.
Pen in Hand I've known Karen for years, but didn't know that in addition to being a writer and a journalist and a volunteer at the local raptor center, she is also a beautiful illustrator. The most beautiful blog I follow.
Austin Kleon It seems absurd to talk about this blog without including any images, but lets just say it's fun, sharp and graphical.
Not a Journal (Except Now It Is) If this were a blog, it would be about Small Beer and Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, except it's not a blog. Except it really is.

Mike IS beautiful, but really right now I'm transfixed by the strange coincidences of snakes showing up everywhere. I recently wrote a story involving a snake in a backyard. Right after that, my friend T found a snake in his backyard, living in casing of his hot tub. He named him Ken. (Sounds like a friend of Mike, doesn't he?) Ken is considerably larger than Mike, if not quite so brilliantly hued. In any case, at my request, T brought me Ken's most recently shedded skin the other day so I can draw it. And now: Mike. What does it all mean, Mo?
I think that the appearance of snakes everywhere must be part of a viral marketing campaign for that "Snakes on a Plane" movie.

SNAKES! ON THE PLANE!
Karen, it's either a sign of the end times (snakes being associated with the devil) or since the snakes are showing up in your life, it's a symbol of the fight between concious attitudes and instincts. (The second is Jung.)
I wish I could bring you Mike to paint.
Maureen: Send me the best digital photo you can take of Mike and I will paint him anyway. (the photo here is pretty good, though of course I'd like to see more of him.)
Just a suggestion. He's quite pretty. In a macho, snakelike way.
Karen, I will! Although it's touch to get a picture of him where he isn't, you know, trying to escape.
