Today was a super exciting day for me. I was interviewed by the lovely Mandi from Entertainment Weekly for their Must issue for Going Bovine. Gotta say, it made my week. Possibly even my summer. 🙂 

While I’m waiting for my pizza to arrive (Oh, delightful tomato sauce-and-cheese dappled orb!), I just wanted to let you NYC peeps know that I will be part of a great reading at Books of Wonder tomorrow night with all the super-coolio authors mentioned below. It’s for a horror anthology called Vacations from Hell. I had a lot of fun writing this story and am thinking about possibly writing more about these characters. Would love to hear what you think about that. Read it and drop me a line.

Yesterday, I had to make 20 eclairs as part of the boy’s French homework. Today, I have to figure out how to sew a monster costume out of an old pillowcase and whatever else I can think up like some unholy middle school version of Project Runway. Did I mention I almost failed Home Ec? Argh! 

Here’s the info for the reading. And I think it’s almost time for another "Ask the author" blog. Hmmm…..
