Well, I'll admit that this tour came up so fast I still haven't told everyone and am annoying people right and left as I call at the last minute to tell them that I’m coming to town. As Jack Nicholson said in that OCD movie with Helen Hunt, “Don’t You Be Like Me!”
Nevertheless, we’ve had [read more]

On Friday night I got an email from Larry that said two of our book excerpts were being cut from the TOC. One was from Sarah Macdonald’s Holy Cow! and the other from It’s Not About the Tapas by Polly Evans.
To fix this productionwise we re-added two original submissions that had been cut earlier [read more]

Sorry to have been remiss this week. I’ve had my head down working on the final manuscript. Right now I’m working on the epilogues to the stories and getting my own story written and rewritten and rewritten.
Needless to say, it’s a lot easier to dissect someone else’s story than it is to write a correct [read more]

Whose Panties at Easy Going in Berkeley

I loved kicking off the tour at Easy Going though it was not without a rocky start. GraceAnn Walden was unable to make it, and I had been stuck on a runway in Vegas all afternoon not knowing when I’d get into SFO. But Susan’s quick thinking and rush hour traffic advice got me there [read more]

My stress is showing. People are looking at me funny. I’m barking at Rolf in comments sections. I’m having bad dreams and begging a Canadian to meet me in Vegas. Well, that’s nothing new, I invite most men to join me in Vegas. Larry laughs that I measure a man by the his willingness to [read more]

Whose Panties Are These? is back from the printer and it looks GREAT! I saw the boxes come in today while I was trying to make some PR headway at the TT office. Michael was also there working on some mailings for A Sense of Place.
Just maintaining the normal amount of promotional work load [read more]

I am now into the fifth revision of my story for the Panties book. The original version was way too long, somewhat offensive, and did that thing I hate the most when reading other writers’ stories—I did this, and then that, and then I did that other thing, and… Chronological order. It’s a big pet [read more]

As you know I’ve been editing Whose Panties Are These? on the road in Europe. Well, that is coming to an end and I head back to the States today. There’s lots of work to be done back at Traveler’s Tales including getting the manuscript into final form, finding out what cover we’re going to [read more]
