Yikes. Where to begin? Yeah, I know it's been two months since my last update. Let's just say, it wasn't all my fault. It all started when some moron from Verizon was doing work in my building, came upon my phone lines on the roof or wherever phone lines like to hang...

It's about 7:30 in the morning on January 2nd. I've gone for the I've-Got-Good-Intentions-in-the-New Year-Early Morning Run. (This is necessary as I spent the entire month of December eating as if the warden was coming to walk me to the chair. Honestly, I should have...

I was going to do a festive post for the collective ChrisKwanzMakuhStice holidays, but life, she sometimes goes crazily awry. The house we were going to buy here in Brooklyn went to somebody else even though we had an accepted offer. (Only in New York City does...

Uh, gee. I meant to update my live journal. Really, I did. Kind of like I meant to eat only one piece of the cake I made instead of playing an insane game of "evening up the ends" with a knife till I'd consumed enough cake to induce diabetic coma. It's been a wild two...

Hallooooo!!! I'm back, sitting comfortably in my Curious George jammies in my very own apt. in Brooklyn. Ahhhh. Heaven. The good: * Meeting with girls from Dana Hall in Boston, Hockaday in Dallas, Holy Names in Seattle, and The Archer School in L.A. * Doing writing...

This is Libba's husband, commandeering her LJ to post some unfortunate news. Alas, due to Hurricane Rita's untimely arrival in Florida, she won't be making it to Miami tomorrow for her school visit or book signing. She's terribly bummed about it, though glad she...

AAAAAHHHHHH! I was supposed to be packed. I was supposed to have clean socks at the ready and my passport tucked neatly into my purse along with a book. I was supposed to be able to sit and watch bad TV tonight because I had it all together. WRONG! Tomorrow morning I...

Alrightythen, folks. I've got my first Rebel Angels signing this Friday, September 9th, at 6:30pm here in fabulous Brooklyn. It's at the local Barnes and Noble which is on the corner of 7th Avenue and 6th Street in Park Slope, Brooklyn, NYC. Come out and heckle me....

Wow. I am completely gobsmacked by all the posts about Rebel Angels. Thank you so much for the support and kind words. I'm so glad you liked it, and as for book #3, I promise I'm dancing as fast as I can. Oh, the Winterlands are a scary place... On another note, I...

I still haven't been to a book store to see Rebel Angels on the shelves. Must do that. Bad, bad author. Yesterday, I was on the train listening to lots of stuff I downloaded from B's iPod. One of the songs was Aqualung, by Jethro Tull. Okay, when I was in eighth...

Oh, hey, I forgot to mention that Random House is doing a cool thing this month in conjunction with the August 23rd pub date of Rebel Angels (oopsie. my bad.) They are hosting an online scavenger hunt. How cool is that? No, you do not have to go to the home of the boy...

It's hot. Haaahhhht. (Please supply requisite nasally whining voice here.) It's too hot to work. Too hot to make the bed. Too hot to cook. (It is, however, never too hot to eat. As long as one doesn't mind subsisting on a diet of snowcones, smoothies and tortilla...
