The Title Says It All

Don’t be put off by the silly cartoon cover. This cookbook has some serious meat!

Published by the editors of Glamour magazine (complete with a stick-girl drawing that makes Barbie look heavy), it’s easy to dismiss the collection as a guide to living and working in the big...

As the guy who wrote Uglies, there are certain kinds of news stories that are forwarded to me by everyone. Hi-tech tattoos, bizarre plastic surgery, stuff that hovers, and of course anything having to do with beauty. So it was no surprise that a recent story about the Miss Korea contest flooded m...

In my notes for the year 1989 I come across some sentences jotted down from a conversation I had with J, whom I call my “master.” At that time we were talking about an unknown mystic called Kenan Rifai, about whom little has been written. “Kenan Rifai says that when people praise us we should [.....

‏من عجائب الكتب

I used to write terrible books all the time.

I've talked about this before, my terribleness. I have even posted some of my terribleness on the internet. By the time I went to college, I had over thirty manuscripts in various stages of finishedness laying around my house and ancient computers and w... Read more of this blog post »

I figure if I have been turned down by a journal two or three or more times, I am going to have a slender chance of winning its poetry contest.

Dew drops squished beneath my sneakers as the aroma of clover, wild roses, and honeysuckle filled the air. I managed to do my first walk out of my little valley, uphill and back. I used my cane, but did not have to stop to rest.

Its Hype Time!

I'm hyped for several reasons. No, its not because Lebron James hit a buzzer beating lay-up in overtime to win in the Eastern Conference finals, (though thats pretty awesome anyway).

Welcome to Friday. It’s another bank holiday Monday in the UK and a half-term holiday for the kids. Lucky me.

It's a Friday and I'm becoming used to Fridays being gloomy and full of irritations. Oh joy! Fast forward to the weekend. I'm going to get a few things off my chest since I've spent thousands of hours writing, editing and promoting. (Daft I know)

It feels strange not having to revise the stories now that the collection is published. Some of the tales have been with me since 2009. RISING AROMAS, for example, has probably been revised over 50 times. I could have kept making edits to the longer stories for all eternity, but the time had come... Read more of this blog post »
