And although March Madness produces millions and millions more dollars in revenue than the women’s tourney, the NCAA claimed the disparity wasn’t about money but rather a lack of space in the women’s bubble in San Antonio. The money explanation seems plausible after seeing how the bubble was presented on social media. Tournament organizers could have just passed the hat and things would have gotten a lot better in a hurry....

What’s new There isn’t much new in Baltimore to start 2014, but that’s OK.

While I’m happy to talk to readers about plot and character, I dread being asked where I got my subject matter, how I did my research and whether I really believe in psychics. The fact is, I do. My Russian grandmother, who called herself a healer, was psychic. One look into a woman’s eyes and she could tell if she was pregnant–and whether she was happy about it....
