Adele is back with a brilliant new tune, "Rolling in the Deep." It's got a hint of Nina Simone's "See-Line Woman" in there and is just a bluesy, blue-eyed soul affair. Love it!

My interview with fellow author and longtime friend Grant Jerkins is the basis for a review of his novel, A Very Simple Crime, in the Washington Post.

Nic Sebastian, who so beautifully reads my poem "After Adultery" at Whale Sound, interviewed me for her Very Like A Whale Blog about the experience of hearing my poem re-interpreted. Thanks again, Nic!

The title for my second novel will be revealed on Dec. 1 and there will be a link to a short excerpt from the first chapter on Dec. 15.
