I'm currently living in mega-metropolis Dixon, CA (population 17,000) with a Spouse Thingy and two cats (Max the Psychokitty and Buddah Pest, both of whom are far more popular than I...and Max has his own books out there...) I also have an adult son who long ago escaped the confines of parental ineptitude and is pursuing his love of acting. The kid is seriously good—Srsly—so keep an eye out for Curt Thompson. FAQ: In what order should your books be read?

1. Charybdis
2. As Simple as That
3. Finding Father Rabbit
4. The King and Queen of Perfect Normal
5. (Coming soon) The Flipside of Doubt It's Not About the Cookies is a stand-alone novel...and the one my mother hates. And yes, my cat Max has 3 books in the market. The Psychokitty Speaks Out: Diary of a Mad Housecat, The Psychokitty Speaks Out: Something of Yours Will Meet a Toothy Death and The Rules: A Guide for People Owned by Cats. You can peek inside my head at my blog Thumper Thinks Out Loud.
