What I'm reading... Well, okay, I've already read it, because there's a blurb from me on the back of the dust jacket. But since I'm a big fan of Scott Eyman's work, I thought this would be a good use of this particular column. As I said in the aforementioned blurb, "Scott Eyman has accomplished the near impossible -- he's taken Louis B. Mayer, the comic goblin of so many Hollywood histories, and restored him to his rightful place as one of the great business executives of the twentieth century. Laughable no more, Mayer is a fascinating amalgam of vision, chutzpa, cunning, and sheer genius." |
WelcomeNot long ago, I did a radio appearance to promote the new softcover edition of "W. C. Fields". At the end, the interviewer asked me if I had a website. I laughed and said no, to which he replied, "That's refreshing. Authors always get so upset when I forget to mention their websites." Emboldened, I told him I didn't carry a cell phone either. Had I been in the studio, I think he would have reached over and kissed me.
In short, I never thought I would be doing this, but the Authors Guild has made it so darn easy to set up a website, I decided to give it a try for the amusement of the half-dozen or so vistors likely to find it over the next few years. Also, given that most publishers aren't very good at forwarding mail from readers, this will make me somewhat easier to find if anyone wants to say something pro (preferable) or con about any of the books I've done. I may even post the most vituperative ones here. I'll no doubt embellish this introduction as new things occur to me, but I still won't carry a cell phone. RantsUnfortunately, I have nothing to complain about at the moment, but I thought it would be a good idea to set this box aside just in case... |
