Are you in the NYC area?
Posted on April 30, 2010
Hey, for you folks who are in the NYC area, I will be showing up at Bent Pages Bookstore on Staten Island for an author chat, square dance, soiree, coffee talk, whatever else we get into over there. I’m calling it “Mysteries of the Universe further Explored and Misunderstood.” That’s SATURDAY, MAY 15th from 4-6 PM.
Bent Pages is located at 391 Van Duzer Street. You can find them on Facebook, or on MySpace.
Hope everyone is having a great Friday.

Awesome cookbook!
Posted on April 12, 2010
Hi, all–as some of you who have read my books know, food appears quite a bit. That’s because I’m a total food geek. I don’t know if I deserve the moniker “foodie,” since I’m not a trained food prep professional, but I do love food and food history. And I also love Italy and Italian food (lordie, who doesn’t????). So that’s why this cookbook rocks:
Full disclosure–yes, I am a friend and colleague of the author, and I have actually read an early version of this cookbook cover to cover. It was that good. It’s filled with food tips, history and culture tidbits about spices and ingredients, and personal anecdotes and stories about the recipes. The author lives in Brooklyn and her parents immigrated from Italy and have maintained a lot of their food traditions. You will find those here, delightfully packaged. And for those of you who are not vegetarian? No problem! Add meat! Except maybe to the desserts…
So if you’re a foodie and you dig Italian food and cooking, check this out.
peace!

chatting with a character
Posted on April 3, 2010
Hi, folks–hope you’re all well this first weekend of April. I get asked a lot whether I’m anything like K.C. Fontero, the main character in Land of Entrapment and The Ties that Bind.
How about we ask K.C. and find out? Go to Women and Words to see.
Hope everyone is getting some great spring weather!
peace and hope your weekend is totally groove-a-licious.
