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.

The coming desert must be due to global warming, which is a depressing and sometimes controversial topic.
Sodium in water...
Daaaaamn that was a good one!
Fun with,and better living through chemistry!
Explosions can be great fun,
as long as no one gets hurt.
I think there is a touch of
pyromaniac in all of us!
Ask Bob to show you how to
make a beer can mortor.Loads of
fun,those were!
:):)
Chris, Bob has told me lots of stories about beer can mortors and some of them involve Pops. That family is one crazy family. ;)
Wow! Better living through chemistry. What fun. I don't remember chemistry ever being that much fun.

One of these days I'll tell you how Pops made a carbide cannon out of an old coffee can, 2 six volt batteries, a coil and condenser, and a spark plug. Very impressive flame and loud as hell. Launched a plastic ball about 100 feet straight up.
Hi Bob,
I remember that one!You had it
sitting around in the garage.
These days,you can't get away
with such things.The F.B.I would
be at the door in a heartbeat.
Have you ever made a "device"
using an old plastic milk jug,
an oxy-aceteline mix from a welding
torch,and a piece of twine for a fuse?KA-boom!
Bob, Chris, I can only say I am glad you two are separated by thousands of miles.
Chris, if Adam ever meets you my life will be a living hell. Interesting. Full of science experiments. But a living hell.
(So, ever think of visiting Texas?)
Hey Maureen,
Texas?Maybe...One of these days.
If Bob,Adam and I ever hook up,don't worry.I'm sure that any
"experiments" or "test's" would be carried out with safety in mind.
