Over at CNN, author Rita Mae Brown talks about animals. I’m going to do a little tongue-in-cheek fisking. Not much, as I agree with most of what she says – and where I disagree, it’s usually funny. But with our 8 horses, 7 goats, peafowl family, chickens, guineas, ducks and 10 cat, 3 dog Castle, we see things a touch differently here. I'd envy her those fox hounds except... they're...

Exploitation movies have been variously described as trashy, improbable and flat-out fun – but feminist? Not often.

I think it was in Martina Navratilova's autobiography that I read that Rita Mae Brown found names for her characters by wandering through old cemeteries. Now she could just wander through my junk mail, which today provided me with Dahlia Holley, Ailene Petruso, Arlean Taina, Shane Zavatson and Sarah Madrid. There must be a science to spam-name generation and I would love to know it--they are usually...

Taking Back the Knife: Girls Gone Gory by Michelle Orange The New York Times ... For the most part, except for a few breakouts like “Shaun of the Dead” (and remakes of still-vital foreign horror films), mainstream American horror has become, like pornography, mainly a cinema of graphic escalation. Though often associated with exploitative fare, the director Rob Zombie, whose recent release,...

Dara Girard talks about instincts and the writer “Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work.” Rita Mae Brown. Instincts.

I didn’t think about that much until I was working on my latest...
