Got a nice mention in Smart Business Magazine. http://randallkennethjones.com/portfolio-items/colin-mochrie/

Though it begs the question, if I’m so smart, how come I’m an actor and a writer?

And welcome Australia. Do come back some time.

It’s called Flipped and it’s more or less about a childhood crush, that greatly resembles my own, including a few that happened when I was 19. I was a late bloomer.

Also I have discovered  a hilarious Twitter page called Veryrealistic YA. Don’t go there. It will take up hours of your time.

To my new readers in Israel, Spain and the Philippines, glad to have you aboard, even if you got here by mistake.

What I really hated about the very bad book was that the action was usually moved forward because the female character, who has a 4.0 and is Harvard material, never followed the instructions of the people who always gave her good advice, and always followed the people who never give her good advice. I can accept that a author uses this device a few times over say, 400 pages, but always? This, by the way, is a conceit used by lots of crummy books and movies, to be fair.

Dear Writers,

Women are not that stupid.

There, I am done being angry.

First, let me say I am really, really happy you visit my blog almost every day. Second, let me say I really, really  hope that you are not looking for my first cousin, Allen, a well known nephrologist, or my distant cousin Hugh, a well know writer, instead. Damn. I think I just made things worse.

It is the second book of a trilogy. Why did you bother finishing the first, you might ask. Well, I was hoping the soap-opera-ish* plot actually made sense, and the author would do something that would at least begin to clarify the burning questions I still had. She didn’t. It only got worse.

*For those of you who are old enough to remember All My Children, think Luke and Laura. Oh, come on, admit it. You watched it.
