Alive and Thinking in Cyberspace: Pam's take on just about everything
“I think we’ve found our family,” Jasper says to Marina at the end of The Edge of Impropriety. It makes me particularly happy to think that I wrote these words back in 2008, before my son Jesse ever met his now-wife Masha and now-daughter Sasha, and before they were joined by new baby daughter Rory just [...]
And a sheepish apology. Because, dear bewildered contest-lovers — you are not going blind. My current contest should indeed have ended on October 3 (as you were quite quite sure my contest page said), and not November 14 (as it clearly says now). Apologies. I messed up. So intently was I preparing my erotic writing [...]
…was the word that insisted on being used, yesterday, when I got an email telling me there was an entry for me on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pam_Rosenthal. Yes, it’s okay to click on it — it’s not, as I was sure at first, a Trojan horse designed to sneak onto my hard drive via the soft [...]
… have a certain wonderful kind of gorgeousness about them, don’t you think? Or so my husband Michael has been telling me for decades — since way before 1989, when Kathryn Bigelow made Blue Steel. But there was eye (and mind) candy for all at the Oscars night before last. What about you? Comments welcome, [...]
I had to leave off this argument to go post at the Hoydens about Sex and the Historical Sensibility. But I promised to come back and finish it off with “subtleties, shades, differences.” To ask — of a genre that guarantees its readers a happy-ever-after ending every time — whether it’s possible to mix things [...]
My last post at History Hoydens was about my East Coast trip, where I mentioned that I’d been to my sister’s wedding. And my prior Hoyden post featured this joyous photo of my sister Robin and her partner — now wife! — Barb, last November when they were the first same-sex couple in Connecticut to [...]
The last few History Hoyden posts, particularly from our bestselling authors Lauren Willig and Mary Blayney, about funny and fascinating branches of their family trees. Not to speak of the terrific comments — from hoydens and readers alike — about our own families and all the places they came from, including this continent, before Columbus. [...]
I’m not quite sure how I’ve managed to let so much time fly by since my last post. But part of what was occupying me and Michael was the Modern Language Association Convention, which is always held between Christmas and New Years Day, and which was held in San Francisco this year. For those of [...]
The autumn leaves are beautiful in the suburbs of Philadelphia where I’m visiting my mom this week, and particularly so as the wind and the rain begin making them fall from the branches. Which shouldn’t be awfully surprising. But which has been, to me. Not only because back home in San Francisco we don’t get [...]
Aging het poster children against California Proposition Eight: Me and Michael out on the streets of San Francisco last weekend. Vote NO!!!!
