Fourteen Years of the Venetian Vase
WordPress informs me that the Venetian Vase is fourteen years old today. Blogs are like journals. Many people start writing one, few sustain them. I have kept this site going partly through the help and support of some wonderful friends and family (you know who are you are!). Although there have been times when I felt like calling it a day, I just knew I would miss the readers and instant interaction that comes with an online presence. Over the past fourteen years I have managed to write and/or edit five books, and I wouldn’t have been able to do that without constantly honing my craft on this site.
Thank you to everyone who has subscribed or stopped by to read both my posts and the work of guest contributors. By a happy coincidence, I’ll be posting a big interview here next week to celebrate.
If you like what you read here, why not check out my latest book Love Me Fierce in Danger: The Life of James Ellroy published by Bloomsbury.

Finished “Love Me Fierce In Danger” last week. If you’re an Ellroy fan, you must read this book!!!
Thank you Bill! So glad you liked it. It’s been a lifelong passion project for me.
Congratulations- been coming to this site a number of years for the great insights, analysis, and interviews. Looking forward to many more years of this blog (and books)!
Thank you Dan. It’s the readers support that keeps the site going. I’ll do my best to go for another fourteen years!
