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.
Holy crap. I wonder if he can do that for the "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" trio as well.

I don't know which surprises me more -- a juggler with musical timing that jumps from the lyric, piano and percussion line or a man who promises a good time and delivers. Great date. Thanks.

Dear Kristen, Scott & MaryAn: So glad you enjoyed this and thanks for the comments -- in truth, I've been a bit surprised by the (relative) lack of response; Bliss blows me away.

Never heard of Chriss Bliss before. But that's one of the reason's I tune in. You've always got some wild-card up your sleeve.
