It is blizzardy and deliciously wintery here today, so I thought you might like reading Lucien’s Fall, available now at Amazon Kindle. Lucien is one of my all time favorite heroes, reckless and beautiful and very nearly unredeemable. A taste, if you’re so inclined:
The riders raced up the road madly. The gleaming, sporty [...] This morning, I’m sitting at Bongo Billy’s coffee shop in Buena Vista, looking straight at Mt Princeton, which is one of the most gorgeous 14ers in a state packed with them. I’ve just posted the pages I wrote early this morning in my cabin overlooking Cottonwood Creek.

When my [...] Over at Lipstick Chronicles, we are talking about where we were and what we did at 19. Come tell your story. http://thelipstickchronicles.typepad.com/the_lipstick_chronicles/2011/02/yesterday-when-i-was-nineteen.html The Brits get a bad name over food, but I’m here to say there is a lot that’s lovely about British cooking. Saveur Magazine has a feature today on their website about British Pub Food. I receive their emails and clicked right through to find this lovely menu: Welsh Rabbit, which I thought for years [...] One of the ways writers get their books out these days is to guest blog everywhere.
