I love Los Angeles. I love the light. I love the eclecticism and the architecture. Most of all I love the people.

So, when I satirize, or say dark things about the city in my novel, know that it comes from an abiding devotion to a place I call home.

These pictures are not from my home. This place was designed by Rudolph Schindler and opened to the public this past Sunday by a generous soul who let us enjoy the intersection between architecture, art, and tranquility.

There are days that feel like a feast, and yesterday was one of them.

    Gorgeous. And do you know that I thought today that I am already looking forward to rereading “It’s in His Kiss”? No kidding!

        I guess I liked the characters and how they developed most! Plus I was zooming through it at warp speed that I know I will get to appreciate the details better on a second go ’round. 🙂

    Oh, and I just thought of the perfect – and perfectly obvious – song to accompany this post: Randy Newman’s I Love L.A.!

      That’s funny! When I was in college in New York I listened to Randy Newman singing about how grungy and absurd everything was, it wasn’t until later that he started to sing the praises of his home town 😉 .

    Gorgeous and, yes, WOW. And your love of LA shines through, all the time, in everything you write.
