Senior Moment
Big news. Fanatic earned a mention as a "Hot Read" on the book review page of AARP magazine. Hate to suggest it, but perhaps the subtitle added an extra bit of urgency for this audience. Just a...

Backstage Pass
So what goes on behind the scenes at the Today Show? Not to much. Nice spread of bagels, muffins and fruit in the green room. Bizarre experience in make-up, where they basically spray paint you to one...

News Flash
This just in: I'm not as good as Dan Jenkins. At least that's the conclusion of a high school social studies teacher who reviews books for Tampa Bay online. Actually, I think he likes the book,...

Our efforts to build a grassroots campaign rumbles, well maybe stumbles, onward. Two very perceptive and highly intelligent bloggers have weighed in on Fanatic. You can get Jason Reiger's Cubs slanted...
