Mark Haskell Smith has just released his third novel, Baked. It was the perfect summer detour for me having been hugging the non-fiction for the past few years for the Kight biography. Baked took me on a ride through the marijuana industry (and make no mistake about it folks--it is an industry), introduced me to a stray Mormon, some (new) kinky sex tricks, and inside the head of an LAPD detective desperately in need of a vacation.
I've been so wrapped up in piecing together a non-fiction story, the life of Morris Kight, that I may have forgotten the joy of writing for the sake of the joy of writing. Haskell Smith gently reminded me of what I've been missing.
I wish Mark Haskell Smith all the success in the world with Baked.
Now back to my regularly scheduled input/output. But I'll be blogging more.
That was me back in the 1970's traveling through the south. Presently I'm very settled in the west. Much has happened, many roads have been traveled, in between then and today. This is my personal blog, I don’t do much editing and I won’t split hairs over split infinitives and that kind of stuff. It is musings and ramblings with a point that won't poke out your eye. But it might make you blink. Please also visit: http://morriskight.blogspot.com/
