Thanks for visiting. While a timeworn VHS tape of “The Natural” plays in the background, I’m wrangling with some HTML and putting the finishing touches on a book excerpt that will be on the site soon. Stay tuned, and be sure to check out the movie.

Not everyone enjoyed The King of America, my shortfilm about the kinky world of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon and the Republicans who love him.
Writes Moon follower Tossa, from Seoul, Korea:
It may seem strange that Rev. Moon chooses to speak about the sexual organ, but don’t you think that God had a plan in [...]
Tim Burton directs this realistic account of turning over your manuscript to a Bay Area publishing house.
But thanks to people like Daily Show creator Lizz Winstead, who had me on her funny Village show Shoot the Messenger a couple of weeks ago, being an author doesn’t always have to feel like entrusting your cherished bicycle to a [...]

For now you can find me at former Radar editor Aaron Gell’s new group blog ASSME, the online presence of a crucial industry organization. And I might even stick with this Twitter [...]
They tried not to let this book see daylight, and now I know why. I’ve just readLove & Consequences, the story of a white girl who lived the life you only hear about in Dr. Dre songs. This is the fake memoir that scandalized the New York Times last month, when hardened gang moll Margaret B. [...]
Thanks to Australian public radio and host Rachael Kohn for having me on today to discuss Bad Moon Rising, my fun new book about the Moonies, the cult of the Capitol.
Best thing about being done with a book about conservative media? Clearing my main hard drive of 30 GB of research material, including all these pervy, mind-numbing [...]
A long time ago I wanted to design a whimsical computer RPG about being a rock star. Part of the game would have been that after assembling your band, surviving the streets, and buying studio time, you’d go to the 7-11 to read a fakeRolling Stone review of your album. Depending on your skills, it [...]
