Holy Crepe!

Erica Rivera, food writer extraordinaire, featured Let Them Eat Crepes, Susan and I in a Q&A on her Yummy Luv blog on January 13, 2011. It's called Holy Crepe & it's a great piece along with a very tasty looking crepe and recipe. Yum!

Crepes of Wrath

Holly Ebel wrote "Crepes of Wrath," an article about Let Them Eat Crepes, Susan & I. It was featured on the front page of the food section of the Rochester Post Bulletin on January 11, 2011 with lovely photos of the book and both of us in addition to a yummy crepe! Check out the online version.

Upcoming Publication

My creative nonfiction essay The Last Time will appear in Salome Magazine on April 26th.
It's a great ezine. Check it out.

Breakthrough

While driving alone in the car to my little sister's birthday party, I had an epiphany about my novel. I've been working on it on and off since November 2008 and for all that time, it's been untitled. The central meaning of the work was hazy in my mind resulting in no grand inspiration for a title. So, while I was listening to Owl City, a metaphor started to take shape. I wrote two pivotal scenes in my head that I quickly typed up when I got home.

So, the long awaited answer to the question: what is this book all about? It's about Chasing Fireflies. At least, for now.

Gladrags

Gladrag's blog mentioned my Celebrate your Cycle with Style article in Savvy Woman's Magazine. They tweeted about it too! Gotta love free press.

Inspiration

Creativity runs rampant. Characters are shouting to be written - the rather clumsy, but gorgeous twenty-something, lanky waitress at an upscale downtown cocktail bar whose black uniform skirt is so short that when she bends over to place drinks on the adjacent table, her perfectly shaped, round cheeks peek out. The elderly man whose mobility scooter misfires at a bus stop, propelling him into traffic on a busy street. A young woman whose life starts to change as soon as she gets married; she finds herself strangely transforming into the perfect, desperate housewife. Stories are brewing in my mind. I need to make more time to write.
