The Map of Moments gets its star

The past few months have gone by in a blur, and now Christmas is nearly here. I'm working on a new draft of the BALTIMORE movie script, just finished the first draft of a pilot script for the CW, and Lebbon and I are just days away from completing the first book in our new YA series THE SECRET JOURNEYS OF JACK LONDON. But this morning, I'm taking a few minutes to celebrate the wonderful review that Tim and I received from Publishers Weekly on our second collaboration, the adult fantasy novel T

A New Dawn

I am jubilant this morning, my friends. Filled with a kind of hope and vigor that I have not felt in a very long time. Hope prevailed over hate and ignorance last night, and my sons stayed up to watch it. Nicholas is 14 and has an Obama poster hanging on his wall, and he and I were both near tears during the speech. He had to get up at 6am, but he wasn't going to bed until Obama spoke, and I let him stay up. Daniel, who is 12, had to get up at 7am, but likewise did not want to go to bed. I

How's Tricks? (and a Halloween Treat)

The opponents of gay marriage want to make it about religion, but it is not about that. If there's one thing I learned in twelve years of Catholic school, it's that Christ was about inclusion, about opening your arms to people others would look down upon.

What IS marria

Quiet. Too Quiet.

Damn, I'm lame. Yeah, yeah, don't all agree at once. Three months since the last post. I wish I could say that was the longest amount of time between blogs for me. Sadly, not the case. How on earth does Neil Gaiman do it? I wish I could figure out how to get all my work done, spend time with my family, have a little downtime for myself, read TMZ (heh), and STILL have time to blog. Ridiculous. I should do it monthly at least. Weekly would be ideal. When he's not in China, freakin' Gaiman does it
