I’m going to calm down by blogging. Tuesday night is trash night on my street. Last tuesday someone upended my trashcan and sorted it all over the street. I spent a long time picking up my trash by hand to set it all out on the curb again this week. Right now (about 12:45am) I…

Woo-hoo! You can now pre-order the book I signed at BEA, Fetish Sex (it’ll be out in a couple weeks).
