Book Fairs and German Shepherds and Bigfoot, oh my!

August 8, 2010 Filed Under: Bigfoot, Book Tour, books are awesome, German Shepherds, Ladies

Well, I didn't mean to vlog and disappear like that!I've spent the past week playing catch up on all the things that didn't get done while I was away. I'm starting to think that I need to find a way to be comfortable in the realm of not caught up, because I am always falling short of grabbing the "all caught up" brass ring. Is that just a normal state of life, or do you find that you have actual leisure time where everything that needs to be done is just done and you can sit around reading, or watching tv, or go play mini-golf without everything else hanging over your head? Or do you have … [Read more...]

Manticores are kind of scary.

September 29, 2009 Filed Under: Bigfoot, music

J and I aren't as cute as Erin and Ted (few people are), and will probably never sing a song for you on camera (unless we're incredibly inebriated, yet still somehow able to operate the camera and post effectively). But, like Erin and Ted, we have a habit of making up new lyrics to old songs. Our recent composition came to fruition a few days ago, while we were sitting on the couch with our laptops being nerdy. To the tune of "You Sexy Thing." J: I believe in manticores. Where you from? You sexy thing. Me: I believe in manticores. But it's kind of hard, since they don't exist. J: … [Read more...]

I totally believe, don’t you?

The Bigfoot press conference is today. Unfortunately, I have to take Argo to the vet and I'm going to miss it. Sigh. . . (Oh, what I do to get J's goat!) … [Read more...]

Internationally bestselling author of STAY, WHY CAN'T I BE YOU and SWIMMING FOR SUNLIGHT. THE PEOPLE WE KEEP coming from @gallerybooks on 8/3/2021

It’s National Library Week. As a child, the libr It’s National Library Week. As a child, the library was my precious refuge. I took full advantage of the ability to read anything I wanted to while I was in the hallowed halls of a town library. And when I was overwhelmed by classroom life, spending lunch in the school library reading the encyclopedias was my favorite form of self-care. After my first novel came out, a childhood friend sent me a picture (first photo) from my hometown library. I don’t have the right words to explain the pride I feel to know that my own books are on the same shelves that held the books that taught me about storytelling when I was a child. And last year, right before the shutdown, when I popped in to the San Francisco Public Library, I got a little misty-eyed when I found a copy of STAY, with Argo’s beautiful face looking up at me (second photo). It is a powerful thing for our communities to have public libraries and the support of librarians who work so hard to cultivate safe spaces and free access to information and literature. Happy National Library Week to all of you. #nationallibraryweek
