8/6 - If I had to summarize, in a phrase, everything that has gone wrong, that phrase would be "celebrity DJ." (Dave Barry tweet)

8/8 - PW likes DARK CITY: "...begins with an adrenaline-pumped chase across the top of a moving subway train, and the thrills don't stop until the final page." http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-7653-3015-4

8/11 - finished a draft of a novelette for Mysterious Press's Bibliomysteries series. I promised it to Otto Penzler years ago and only now got around to it (after shamings every time I see him). Will let it sit awhile then go back and tweak it.
8/15 - Damn insomnia! Thought I'd finished the Bibliomystery for Mysterious Press, then came up with a new character twist and ending at 5am. Must. Rewrite.
8/17 - There's transgressive fiction. Can there be transgressive wine? http://tinyurl.com/lrs68we
