On Beliefnet.com - Writer Margaret Harrell on how “outlaw authors” Hunter S. Thompson, Milton Klonsky and Jan Mensaert taught her the power of fearlessness Click to read the marvelous interview conducted by John Kennedy. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Your fearlessness will be to them a sure token of impending destruction, but to you it will be a sure token of your salvation—a token coming from God. – Philipp...

HARDCOVER Keep THIS Quiet Too! – finally

Keep THIS Quiet Too!  is one of my favorite books by me. Readers often tell me how much they like it. Yet it's not nearly so well known as Keep This Quiet!

Three very intelligent, fabulous males in all their complexity, spread across a continent and a globe, that I, in my "hub" in Morocco or leaving once a year for a month in the United States kept exciting ties with. Just landed on New York City ...
