Bourbon Cowboy

The adventures of an urbane bar-hopping transplant to New York.

: Name: Cowboy Dave Dickerson; Location: New York, New York, United States

I'm a storyteller in the New York area who is a regular on NPR's "This American Life" and at shows around the city. Moved to New York in 2006 and am working on selling a memoir of my years as a greeting card writer, and (as a personal, noncommercial obsession) a nonfiction book called "How to Love God Without Being a Jerk." My agent is Adam Chromy at Artists and Artisans. If you came here after hearing about my book on "This American Life" and Googling my name, the "How to Love God" book itself isn't in print yet, and may not even see print in its current form (I'm focusing on humorous memoir), but here's a sample I've posted in case you're curious anyway: Sample How To Love God Introduction, Pt. 1 of 3. Or just look through the archives for September 18, 2007.) The book you should be expecting is the greeting card book, about which more information is pending. Keep checking back!

Amazing Hollywood Fact

On this somewhat lazy weekend, Turner Classic Movies is showing Madame X, with Lana Turner and Ricardo Montalban. And after a quick scan of the credits, I discovered the following fact, which I am thrilled to announce:

Keir Dullea was in something besides 2001.

I'd heard rumors, but never seen proof. Now I think I need to lie down.
