Anyone who’s read more than a couple of bestselling author DEAN KOONTZ’s suspense novels knows that he’s down with the dogs. Almost every title features a canny canine. In his new book, A BIG LITTLE LIFE, KOONTZ goes the non-fiction route to tell the story of TRIXIE, a rescued dog that profoundly affected his life. We sat down with the author over the week-end to talk about books and books that have been made into movies. It seems KOONTZ isn’t too happy about of his titles that have gone from page to screen.

LIFE’S A BEACH AT DEPP’S PRIVATE ISLAND
Posted by: | CommentsJohnny Depp knows a little bit about living life under the media’s glare. So when he wants to get away, the star and his family head to Little Hall’s Bond Cay, Depp’s private, 45-acre island in the Bahamas.
“(The island) is my decompression,” Depp told the July issue of Vanity Fair magazine. “It’s my way of trying to return to normalcy … Escapism is survival to me.”
The beaches on Little Hall’s Bond Cay are named after Depp’s partner, Vanessa Paradis; their children, Lily and Jack; actor Marlon Brando; and gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson. But he also named one “Heath’s Place” after the late Australian actor Heath Ledger.

Before Steve Martin ever made a movie, he was an enormously successful stand-up comedian, who sold out amphitheaters and won Grammy Awards for two of his comedy albums. We caught up with Martin (whose latest project is a bluegrass album, “The Crow - New Songs For The Five-String Banjo”) and asked him about those stand-up days, including whether he felt like he was breaking new ground with his late-’70s material.
