New Venice Beach Webisode Series

My friend and colleague Mary Feuer has launched a new webisode series, With the Angels, which is hosted on Strike.TV. She describes it as a "fish-out-of-water story of a small town Arkansas girl swimming in the freak-infested waters of Venice Beach, California."

They're up to Episode 7 already, so you've got some enjoyable catching up to do! The episodes are just bus-stop-wait long, less than 10 minutes.

About me...

When I was in high school, my chemistry teacher approached me and asked with a sly grin, "You interested in mining?"
I told him absolutely not. I was going to be a writer.
Little did I suspect that he wanted to send me to a student conference on metallurgy where I could seek the fellowship of like-minded teens on a minimally supervised road-trip to the Big City.
Undeterred by my abrupt negative response, he grumbled, "Well, you're interested in mining your own business, aren't you?"
And he sent me anyway.
Now I realize I should've listened more carefully to everything he said.
