		<description><![CDATA[Most authors dream of writing a book that changes people&#8217;s lives.  Even yours truly has entertained the thought every now and then&#8211;although it never crossed my mind that a sci-fi action thriller like HAMMERJACK would be that book.  Hell, I just counted myself as lucky when I got some good reviews.  But reader Bertie W. from the UK informs me otherwise:<br />
Your book got me into trouble, by the way, with my girlfriend. I found it while ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My buddy Steve, an engineer in Colorado, sent me this interesting artlcle about firms that will&#8211;for a more than modest fee&#8211;propel your book to the top of the charts at Amazon and other online retailers, even if it&#8217;s just for a little while.  One gets the notion from the tone of the piece that the whole thing is just a big scam, and I&#8217;d have to say that I agree.  I mean, sure&#8211;I&#8217;ve followed my own numbers on ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kids are funny creatures when it comes to a lot of things, but none moreso than their movie tastes.  For a few weeks Lexie and Christian will totally obsess over one movie to the exclusion of all others, and then BAM&#8211;you couldn&#8217;t pay them to watch it again.  Luckily this kind of thing goes in cycles, so once enough time passes I can get the old favorites back into rotation again.  Even the Baby Einstein videos get ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By now, you might have heard rumblings about Al Gore&#8217;s robust use of electricity at his home in Nashville, Tennessee.  It seems that the place has a rather healthy appetite for power&#8211;twenty times the annual rate of Joe Sixpack&#8217;s average home, which adds up to around $30,000 per year give or take.  Now I&#8217;m not sure how that compares to your normal millionaire&#8217;s energy consumption, but I would probably guess that it&#8217;s in the same neighborhood as a ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If there was ever any doubt about the state of weirdness in Florida, the argument got settled flat last week.  In the space of less than four days, we not witnessed the nervous crackup of a NASA astronaut at an Orlando airport, but also the sudden end of a certain tabloid celebrity&#8217;s life in a Hollywood hotel.  Hot on the heels of our hurricane problems, election debacles and inexplicable attraction for serial killers, it seems that the Sunshine ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I swear, it&#8217;s just like that Rodney Dangerfield movie Back to School&#8211;except that I&#8217;m not the wealthy owner of a bunch of Tall &#038; Fat men&#8217;s clothing stores.  Plus I&#8217;m not throwing hot tub parties in my dorm room. . .or accidentally crashing a sorority house. . .or getting the dean to name a business school after me.  Come to think of it, it&#8217;s not really like that movie at all&#8211;except in the sense that I&#8217;m the oldest ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The kids and I have started a new tradition in the Giller household.  After dinner&#8217;s all done and the dishes put away, and after we&#8217;ve all been on our walk and gotten cleaned up, Lexie and Christian settle in with dear old dad and watch a bit of a movie before going to bed.  I have to admit, it&#8217;s become a bit addictive as I get lots of good cuddle time&#8211;and who could resist such a thing with ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to 2007!  Man, that still sounds weird.  If you&#8217;re anything like me, you spent the better part of the 80s calculating how old you&#8217;d be when the year 2000 rolled around and what life might be like&#8211;and now here we are, getting close to a decade past that.  Remember all the hysteria over the whole Y2K thing?  It seems like a long time ago&#8211;and not just because most of those cheesy predictions turned out to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It only took a year or so, but I&#8217;ve finally got a new essay posted on the Write Turns page!  If you&#8217;ve ever wondered what it takes to finish a novel&#8211;or why someone would ever want to tackle such an Quixotic undertaking in the first place&#8211;feel free to kick the tires, start the engine and take the article for a spin.  Just make sure you have it back before curfew, eh?<br />
