I’ve had my book reviews published in Boston Now at least a half-dozen times. Today (1/11/07), my review of the novel The Crazy School is in their paper and their Blog Roundup. Woot!
There are levels of fame I to which I aspire. I managed to be in Newsweek in October, admittedly just a quick quote. I’ve been on a couple podcasts (including Motherhood Uncensored on Blog Talk Radio). Plus I’m now working with 3 great publishers reviewing their books! All of this is really exciting. I positively glow when anything like this happens!
When I was a kid, I daydreamed about being interviewed by David Letterman or any of the other talk show hosts. I never quite knew why I’d be interviewed, but I loved that idea. That had simmered in me for a while, and when I started hearing Terry Gross on Fresh Air on NPR, the old daydream reappeared. I don’t watch much any TV, but I listen to quite a few podcasts, including Fresh Air. I’d love to be interviewed by her! We have to find a reason for the interview though…
In the meantime, I can now claim 1 degree of separation from Terry Gross! She interviewed Carol Muske-Dukes about her novel Channeling Mark Twain. After I wrote my review, I was given the opportunity to do an email interview with Carol. Remember that the questions were sent en-masse, so some of her answers overlap. My interview is now up at Writers Revealed - please check it out! Wow- Terry Gross and I both interviewed the same person…
I’m all excited. Thanks for listening to the brags, folks! You’ve all listened to the whining, so it feels nice to have good things to post!

My cat was in the New Yorker once–mentioned in a tiny event listing for the photo gallery he used to live in, before my mom adopted him and brought him out to California for me.
We cut it out and taped it on the kitchen baseboard, right above his food bowl.
