I am being waited on
Reverie Book Reviews has kindly featured me for their weekly Waiting On Wednesday post. She even hints that it might be the next Nick and Nora’s Infinate Playlist (which is a marvelous book, by the way, and you should probably order it when you preorder Struts & Frets, so you get the free shipping!)
Thanks Vania!
Running in the yard with the big dawgs
When it comes to the publishing industry, I feel a bit like this kid, tracking mud on the nice clean floor and stealing the cookies. And strangely, I find I kind of like that feeling.
The thing is, I’ve always been intimidated by people I respect. Celebrities don’t do it for me. When I worked at Studio 54 in the box office, we dealt with celebrities all the time, and I quickly got over any excitement that brought. But an artist whose work I admire…that’s a whole different story.
My Favorite Summer
Blogging over at The Word Ninjas, Inc, on my favorite summer adventure. It begins:
I wasn’t sure at first which of my outrageous summer adventure stories to tell first. The time my ex girlfriend showed up unexpectedly at my apartment in Pittsburgh with a van full of strippers who needed a place to stay for the weekend? The time I moved everything I owned five times in one summer and lived off of nothing by Rolling Rock and veggie lasagna? Or the summer I spent backpacking in the UK, so poor and unwise that by the time I reached Galway, Ireland I had no money, no food, just a train ticket and a pouch of rolling tobacco, and if I hadn’t fortuitously run into my old classmate Zachary Quinto, who plied me with good food and whiskey, I’m not entirely sure what would have become of me. Of course, there was a whole host of other adventures that are simply not appropriate for readers under the age of 18.
