Sin City

I get asked a lot, "What's it like to live in Vegas?" Well, actually I live in Henderson (about 7 miles from downtown) and it's a nice bedroom community with many positives. I know, Las Vegas leads the nation in just about every bad category there is (forclosures, crime, car thefts, etc.) but so far, in my 12 years here I have not suffered through much on the negative side.

Actually I kind of like the place. I have lived in many cities (Denver, Washington, D.C., Detroit, Ft. Washington, Maryland) but I find this one seems to agree with me. I like hot weather (sometimes it's so hot you can see Superman in a taxi) and the dry air is easy to breathe. The conditions outside limit what you can do in the summer, but, hey, the heat propels me into my office to draw and write. Las Vegas was the driving impetus for my first two books and I enjoyed the mental challenge of trying to depict what this place would look like 65 years from now.

While Las Vegas is not for everyone, I call it home. Look for the next Danny DeVille future Las Vegas installment around the first of the year.
