This showed up in the middle of the night in my inbox. Don't know M.C. Taylor but I love this kind of cross pollination and I love the song.

Nice surprise from Kirkus Reviews. The March issue picked my novel Hollywoodski as one of the five Indie Books for the Month. They will also be reprinting the starred review.

If you missed the Pushcart Prize reading at Beyond Baroque, you can catch it on You Tube. Lotta laughs.

Wringing out the old year: One of my favorite people, Mike Sonksen and one of my favorite web sites, L.A. Taco picked Hollywoodski as one of the 25 Best L.A. – Centric Books of 2025. If you don’t know L.A. Taco, you should.

Nice Christmas present from Kirkus, a starred review for Hollywoodski. The money line : "A lively, funny journey on the fringes of Hollywood."

@AnneMarieK Okay, I guess I need to go to your store. Must be in the Valley. Give me directions. And a trust fund. All the basic requirements for optimism.

[Lou Mathews @loumathe]

@TBQuarterly When are you going to accept or reject the great story I already sent you? Been a couple months. didn't expect you to act like the New Yorker.

[non aesthetic things @PicturesFoIder]

do you know how expensive that car is?

[Lou Mathews @loumathe]

@TBQuarterly Okay, but why haven't you taken my story yet? I just won a Pushcart but that pales compared to publication in TBQ.

Just heard the resounding news that my story "Desperate Times, Desperate Crimes" from The New England Review 45.3 has just won a Pushcart Prize. My thanks to Jim Gavin at Tiger Van Books who did the heavy lifting on this one, and Carolyn Kuebler at NER who did the fine tuning
