All day I’ve been thinking of the refrain from COMPANY’s THE LITTLE THINGS YOU DO TOGETHER. [And as an aside, I completely admit to having a Raul Esparza fascination/passion/obsession;  in fact, everyone should.] Why that song? Well, along with skyping non-stop to India –– Sanjay finished aroun...

Reeling from all the techno marketing today. Vimeo and Youtube pages revised. Worked on the slider for this website for 3 hours via Skype w/an AWESOME guy in India. Claimed my author page on GOOD READS (and now there’s a lot more to do). Installed the code that’s in the STORE on this site –– an...

Very happy with the reactions to my email BLAST this morning –– lots of sweet responses plus some groovy free consults which are always inspiring and fascinating.  And a super-delightful birthday brunch with beautiful/wonderful Cristy and her great mom and Zoe, too.  (Details tomorrow, since we’re al...

Today I got an email with the next generation cover possibility for the novel, one which they love and I think I might almost love. I mean, I do love it for its own sake. The questions are a) does it convey that this is the story of a bad boy b) is it too bright since this story involves LOTS of night? But...

I don’t know why I was thinking of this, but as I was meeting my publisher for the first time today, I kept flashing back to all those reruns of MURDER SHE WROTE where Jessica Fletcher travels from Maine to NYC to meet her publisher. Maybe it’s that –– for the first time since college –– I felt...

Inexplicably, my iPhone 4 screen cracked yesterday. I didn’t drop it –– just put it into my bag –– but somehow the screen was semi-shattered. After a visit to the Apple Store with Belle, I did upgrade to the 5 (let’s be honest, I’m in it for the long haul with Apple) and decided also to s...

Yesterday, Belle and I moved into our amazing digs for May and the little dog immediately found her place in the sun. So many metaphors –– from all my filming experiences over the weekend, to finding the spotlight as I launch into major promotional mode for the new book –– but just so thrilled to be settle...

Whatever you believe is the source behind my cold –– Abraham’s lofty belief that my body hasn’t caught up with my new higher vibration; or sick building disease re: the AC in Cancun;  or just stress behind moving and a new book release;  or good, old-fashioned germs –– one thing is for sure: Ge...

When you’re up at 4:30 and on set by 7 am on a Sunday morning to film your book trailer, you can help but feel supremely virtuous and enormously productive. The shoot was splendid –– actors were amazing, my crew spectacular –– and I have to say the footage looks INCREDIBLE. And now –– exhilarated but...
