Sunset in San Miguel de Allende

Where My Main Character Might Stay When He's In Mexico

In San Miguel de Allende researching my third novel, THE INSOMNAMBULIST

Red & Blue Make Purple... Which Is Coincidentally A Mardi Gras Color

Okay, hate the Bushes. Hate The Clintons. I don't effing care who you hate. But why don't you put your hate where it belongs? Put it on Katrina and let's get on with it. We have a city to rebuild. New Orleans, as Wynton Marsalis so eloquently put it, is "America's Soul Kitchen" And besides that, helping people in need is the right thing to do. That's what that bearded hippy who was born in a manger would tell you to do, isn't it? "Help them," He would say. So how are you helping them this Christmas season?

Instead of buying more dumb tchotchkes for your secret Santa at the office or another scented candle for your kids' teachers, buy them a donation in their name. There are a number of good places to buy this kind of gift.  George The First and Slick Willy have a great unifying organization aimed at helping rebuild New Orleans, called The Bush Clinton Katrina Fund and they have a nifty website that makes it easy to shake the change out your pockets.

Look if we don't get the Big Easy back on track soon, those guys who make those Girl's Gone Wild videos might go out of business. These are desperate times, people! Fucking donates. Click here.

Do Some X-Mas Shopping in New Orleans

Garden District Book Shop is a great, independently owned bookstore in New Orleans. When authors come to the Big Easy, this is the place to sign. Mainly because, the owner Britton and his staff are so damn nice and they love books and they always serve wine and cheese and make it a really great event.

Anyway, you can imagine what the hurricane has done to their business. So might I reccommend you call them and order some books for the book lovers on your list.

Britton has signed copies of just about every kick ass writer you can imagine, from David Sedaris to Anne Rice. You can even get signed copies of LORD VISHNU'S LOVE HANDLES (hint, hint) . So give them a call 504-895-2266.
