Now it can be told: I wrote and published 20 romance novels in 8 years... under a female nom de plume. And it's very nice to be outed in the Los Angeles Review of Books.

Billy Mernit: WRITING THE ROMANTIC COMEDY, 20TH ANNIVERSARY UPDATED & EXPANDED EDITION
CUT TO THE CHASE: Writing Feature Films with the Pros at UCLA Extension Writers' Program
I contributed two chapters to this useful book about how to write feature films, edited by Linda Venis, in collaboration with fellow UCLA Extension Writers' Program instructors: it's crammed with good info.CHERISHED: 21 Writers on Animals They Have Loved and Lost
Judith Lewis Mernit and I contributed essays to this book, along with Jane Smiley, Thomas McGuane, and Anne Lamott, among others. Editor Barbara Abercrombie put it together, it's available on Amazon for a mere 10 bucks and change, and all proceeds go to an animal rescue charity.
Can this be true?
Now, I've got to go find some of these and take a look at them.

What a juicy secret! I wish I had one like that.

"I was Leigh Anne Williams: a woman who published 20 romance novels."
I read this and laughed when I looked at the picture of yourself at the top of the page.
That's awesome Bill!

Just when I have you pegged as a scoundrel, you turn out to be a rapscallion.
