    The World’s Most Haunted House

    ‘ I’ve mentioned before that my good friend Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, and I have an almost eerie synchronicity. So what happened this past Monday shouldn’t have surprised me.

    The Best Place to View the Hollywood Sign!

  • My Guide to Palm Springs – Cocktails

    My Guide to Palm Springs – Cocktails

    ‘ Palm Springs has long been a playground of the show business elite, largely because back in the days of Old Hollywood, the studios required their stars to always be within a two-hour drive from Los Angeles.  The desert – picturesque, secluded and a scant 100 miles from Lalaland – therefore became the obvious go-to…
