Where am I?

I am writing a new book, and probably won’t be back here until it’s done.

If you like, you can follow me on Twitter.

Think I’ll Go Out To Alberta

Go You Huskies

Tonight I’m speaking at the University of Connecticut. Come out and see me — and, um, go Huskies.

Goodbye to All My Friends

Eventually, it had to happen. A couple weeks ago, I cut loose from the infamous Facebook page called “Shut Up, I’m Talking.” It no longer has any connection to me or my books, and anything you see coming from it has nothing to do with me all.

I have transferred control of the page, and its FIVE MILLION fans, to some young entrepreneurs who have done some really excellent work for charities in the past, and aim to use the page to further that sort of noble endeavor. I wish them luck.

This morning I was on an English-language radio show broadcast in Spain, talking to a Scottish host about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. You can find the result at http://www.talkradioeurope.com/, by clicking on the “Listen” tab, then choosing On Demand and the 11:00 AM show.

The Honored Dead
