The Irish Milkmen of the Dog World
August 5, 2009I'm afraid this diary may insult both dog lovers and Irishmen but hey, that's never stopped me yet! Our son was a handsome boy and Whitley and I are, well, a bit challenged in that department, although I'm a lot... continued
Two Surprising Events
July 27, 2009We were recently invited to be in a couple of events of the kind we don't usually participate in. One of them was Comic- Con in San Diego, where Whitley signed and talked about his graphic novel The Nye Incidents.... continued
Trickster Coyote
June 29, 2009Many Native American tribes have a deity called "Trickster Coyote," who plays pranks on people in order to bring them enlightenment. From reading so many letters, I can attest that the Visitors often do this to people. Whitley himself has... continued
Tool Users
June 8, 2009Humans are basically tool users. That's what separates us from other primates (although chimps use twigs to dig for termites). Neurologists have discovered that that SAME PLACE in the brain lights up when males visualize either tools or attractive females!... continued

May 18, 2009Whitley and I just had one of the most profoundly moving experiences of our lives, one which was also a real privilege to be part of. It was also one of the most painful experiences we've ever had. It made... continued
Frustrations: Shedding by Shredding
May 4, 2009Whitley is busy rewriting his new novel. He has a deadline and is under a lot of pressure to finish, which doesn't always put him in the best mood. I, as his Muse, am busy shredding the old, discarded manuscript... continued
Like Radar…But Different
April 22, 2009We recently experienced one of the exciting things about living in LA: we were invited to a screening of a major motion picture. I haven't been to many of these, but I've noticed that I always like the film in... continued
Pagan Adventures
April 4, 2009I once got angry, because after I mentioned Wicca in passing during a Dreamland interview, someone wrote in and said (accusingly) is Anne Strieber a pagan? I denied it then, but now I'm beginning to think I wouldn't mind if... continued
What the Bleep
March 8, 2009Whitley usually appears on television alone, but occasionally I get to make an appearance as well. One of most enjoyable things Whitley and I ever did together was to participate in a live radio show in front of an audience... continued
