Can You Hear Me Now?
If there's one thing I love, it's a badge. Here's the one I just got:
Yes! The show is Sunday, May 1 at 3:00 pm and you can find all the details - including links to the Los Angeles-area writers who'll be reading - here. Also, tickets are available in advance and can be purchased here.
It's going to be a lovely experience - just the kind of event you can bring your mother to and score major bonus points that you know you're going to need down the road. A portion of the proceeds go to both national and local charities (details at the website) and your ticket price includes a reception following the show where we promise to look the other way while you fill your handbag with extra cookies (so bring the big one).
Huge thanks to National Director Ann Imig, Los Angeles Show Director Lisa Page Rosenberg and Los Angeles Show Producer Leane Vandeman.
I hope to see you there!
Thank You!
I want to thank all of you, my alluring, hard-bodied readers, for staying with me even though my posts have slowed considerably in the last few months.
I have been furiously writing (and finishing!) my second novel, to the exclusion of pretty much everything else. (Picture the Bride of Frankenstein in a bathrobe for days on end and you'll have some idea what a lucky man Jon Bon Jovi - not my husband's real name - is.) I will keep you posted on all of that, of course, but I hope you know how much it means to me that you are here. I treasure you guys...truly.
And Thank You...
To Carolyn Watson-Dubisch at Living It Up In Bankrupt California for the Stylish Blogger Award, which I aspire to deserve.
