Have you ever read a book (or blog) and thought, “Hmm, that writer sure is an interesting person/font of knowledge/ODD BIRD. I wonder if she’s as fascinating/brilliant/DORKY in real life as she is in print…?”
Well, here’s your chance to find out.
That’s right, folks. Your local “Moms Like Sex Too” columnist will be doing a couple events in December for the humorous women’s travel anthology More Sand in My Bra (Travelers’ Tales, 2007), to which I am a contributor. Some of the other writers/editors will be in attendance as well, which ensures that at least SOMEONE will keep you entertained.
Plus we’ll be talking about other women’s travel books too–especially for those of you who are making your lists and checking ‘em twice. So bring your recommendations to share.
My story is called “Thar She Blows!” and it’s about how I boldly went where no sane woman has gone before: face into the spray of a boat’s erupting sewage tank. Just thinking about it makes me want to brush my teeth.
BLECH.
Anyway, here’s a review of the book. And here are the deets on the readings (not on the sailboat enema–you’ll have to come to an event to hear the details on THAT):
This weekend we’ll be at:
Village Books
1200 11th St.
Bellingham, WA 98225
Sunday, December 9th
4 p.m.
And for you Seattleites:
Wide World Books & Maps
4411 Wallingford Ave N # A
Seattle, WA 98103
(Wallingford neighborhood)
Tuesday, December 11th
7 p.m.
Mark yer calendars, ladies. Line up a sitter. Or bring the kids along! And please please please PASS THIS ON to anyone who might like a night of laughter and travel literature. (If that’s your blog readers, that’s fine with me.)
Oh, and we’ll also be signing some books at Queen Anne Books. We won’t be doing an event there, but if Queen Anne’s your hood, that’s a fine place to pick up a copy.
And, hey, if you can make it to an event next week, please introduce yourself. I’d love to meet more of my fellow mom bloggers!
Happily even after,
janna
Hey, isn’t Ellen Degeneres a contributor to that book as well? Is she going to be there?
I was fondling a copy at Borders on Thanksgiving night, it looks great!
Have a great time at the events Janna!
Yes, Ellen (does she even need a last name these days?) is also a contributor. Alas, she won’t be there. But I promise it’ll still be funny.
And I just love that image of you fondling a book I’m in.
