Terry Ambrose: Moving So Fast You Can Barely See Him.
I met Terry for the first time on Saturday, April 20th at the L.A. Times Festival of Books. Well, actually, we met at the Vagabond Inn parking lot a couple of blocks from the USC campus, so that I could load his books and paraphernalia into my car. He didn’t, however, seem like a stranger. [...]

When I Grow Up, I Want to Be… Gayle Carline
Gayle Carline is a fabulous author and my friend. Gayle loves horses and is not even afraid of them. Not even one bit. She doesn’t shudder at words like, “they can sense your fear, you know.” She even has a beautiful and smart equine by the name of Snoopy, who is also a published author. [...]
