A bit of excitement is afoot today.... at least for me. As my faithful readers (the handful of them) know, I am a semi-aspiring, perhaps someday, fiction author. As one of many such beasts, I share a common trait with others of this affliction by being interested and enamored with published authors (the lucky bums!). Well, today, a favorite young author of mine.... Michael Connelly, has had a new book "The Narrows" published. And for those of us who purchase the book early, you get a DVD of scenes from the areas where he writes about. Connelly is a crime/police/detective author who has developed a recurring character named Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch who works in the Los Angeles Police Department.

The plan is to go purchase a first edition of the book today, and obtain the DVD as well. The author will be in a relatively nearby location in the next few weeks, and I may go to his book signing to see if he can autograph my copy.
