I Want to Steal First Place in Lee Goldberg’s ‘The Heist Photo Contest’

by

One of the neat things about social media is that it can connect you to people you’d otherwise never have a chance to talk to otherwise. I don’t just mean cool comic-loving bloggers who share your name like Drew Bennet. No, I mean folks like authors, press contacts, artists, musicians, even reps from your favorite companies. Being a professional writer, I’ve always had access to plenty of subjects when writing a story. And actually, that …

Happy Father’s Day!

by

I’ve been out of town for two weeks on some personal business (expect some fun L.A. posts to come with details), so apologies for the lack of regular posts here lately.

So on this Sunday, Father’s Day, I couldn’t ask for a better present in the entire world than to be home safe and …
