The Real Secret Lives of Cats
Those of you who read my July ’08 Ellery Queen story, “The Secret Lives of Cats,” might find this news story interesting. It’s from a Seattle newspaper. Check it out here. I got the idea for my story from a German inventor who posted his cat’s photos online. He also posted a way to make a camera that the cats will wear. Of course, I’ve lost that link, but clearly these folks saw it and were inspired by it. (Although, considering the last line of the article, maybe they were inspired by my story…<VBG>) Tweet This Post … Read entire article »

Thank You, Mr. President
HBO is running a short documentary of Helen Thomas, the White House reporter who has covered 9 presidents. Thomas has always been a hero of mine. When I wanted to be a journalist, I wanted to be one in the Helen Thomas vein, who wasn’t afraid to speak truth to power or to ask the hard questions. The documentary, Thank You, Mr. President: Helen Thomas at the White House is too short and doesn’t have enough biographical material on Thomas or much information on the White House Press Corps, but it’s a great place to start. And if you’re looking for a role model, Helen Thomas, who isn’t young and is waiting for the next president so she can get back into the briefing room, is … Read entire article »
