Classic Gen X, I was into podcasting before it was cool.

Explain your username:

Many years ago, when I worked for a big formal L.A. foundation, I started a radio show on a punk rock radio station so needed a pseudonym: Pinky’s Paperhaus. I started recording the show and sending it out as a podcast.

explain your username:

short version: it’s my author pen name

long version: I was going by the initials “CM” on a message board for writers, because it stood for “Chicken Mafia.” People knew me as CM and then suddenly I needed a real name for human interaction purposes.

explain your username:

I started going by “Miss Kitty Fantastico” online when I started watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer as a teenager, but that was often too longer for a username on a lot of sites, so I shortened it to “misskittyf.” It’s stuck for nearly 20 years now.

The Manson muderers were falsely inspired by the Bealtes; one wrote "healter skelter" on the wall in a victim's blood. It's the title of a bestselling book about the case by prosecutor Vincent Bugiosi.

Hey look at that, my review of Thomas Pynchon's Shadow Ticket is up at the Boston Globe! www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/01/a...

‘Shadow Ticket’ is the new Thomas Pynchon novel we didn’t know we needed - The Boston Globe

I’m delighted to report that “Shadow Ticket” is a gloriously language-driven detective novel that waits for no one.
