April is my birthday month, and this birthday is a big one for me. I won’t reveal what it is except to say that it’s an age Jack Benny didn’t like much either. To celebrate, I’m giving away e-book copies of my memoir! That’s right, instead of a whole three dollars, my memoir is now [...]

Internet Lovin’

So I joined Google Plus.  My brother invited me so I said, “Sure, why not?”  Plus with all the buzz, I was curious about it.  Now?  Wah-wah-waaaah.  I’m not sure what to do with it, aside from reposting my tweets and/or FB statuses. Right now it seems like a pain to do so, and to [...]

In addition to the shout-outs I mentioned earlier in the week, I got a lovely review from Wyn over at Everything Is Connected. Wyn and I have “known” each other for several years. I think I found her blog randomly, and admired how active she was (and is!). From there I saw that she wrote [...]

It’s a scorcher today in the Bay Area, which means it’s a dry 80 degrees.  (I’m spoiled.)  So I thought I’d bring you some hot writing news. The reviews are in! Ed Lin, author of Snakes Can’t Run, This is a Bust, and Waylaid, gave me and my book Black Fish a shout-out this week [...]

So busy

This week I was very busy with work stuff.  While I love how my role has expanded, and while some things are totally fun (like live-Tweeting the Scripps National Spelling Bee!), some stuff has me worrying.  Worrying because it’s unfamiliar territory and I’m afraid to fail, so much so that I woke up at five [...]

Hey look!  Somehow my book is number three in Lulu’s Top 100 eBooks in Biographies and Memoirs this week! I do not question such matters, but merely take advantage of them like the opportunistic rat that I am. By the way, got three bucks to spare? Help make my book number one!
