A little over a year ago, I’d just landed in LA. It was five months before the pub date of The Island Dwellers, and maybe four days before the writers room began for Tales of the City.
Things that have changed: 1) Tales has been written and has filmed. 2) The Island Dwellers is out. 3) The second book for Random House, a novel, is starting to become A Thing and not A Thing That Comes Next. 4) There is more gray in my hair.
Things that are the same: This apartment, and this lemon tree. 
When you & your show-runner are the last ones standing in Video Village… 
Nothing better than a night-shoot on Halloween…
Bears stay warm when temperatures drop
Name: check.
Under-eye bags: check.
Full cast press release? Right here.
And something else I love about working on this show: 
These people. My heart. 
We were together for 5 months writing a thing. So thrilling to be together again, and hear it come to life with actors.
…in which the TALES room (+ significant others) takes in a drag show. 
Some of us occasionally forget where the camera is (me and Hansol)…and the rest of us were born for Blue Steel.
