I’m back…did you miss me?

I was out in Los Angeles for a week for the book and it was fantastic! I took a break from writing and had no internet…I know, can you imagine…I even took a couple blackberry breaks. And while I vibrated in withdrawal a little and felt an odd sensation in my right hand like something was missing the whole time…

The Derek and Romaine Show this Thursday night!

This Thursday night at 8:15PM I will be on Sirius Out Q with The Derek and Romaine Show promoting my book. Now if you know me than you know that I briefly dated Romaine back in the day before she was all famous and shit. So tune in as this could be a very interesting interview that has zero to do with the book!

Have you hugged a librarian today?

Well you should! The Pennsylvania School Librarians Association has just voted my book among the Pennsylvania Young Adult Top Forty books of 2008!! Woo hoo!!! On my recent visit to Philadelphia, I ventured into the Philadelphia Free Library and it is incredible! I also had my super secret hot librarian friend look my book up and I was checked out at almost all the locations!!

Lehigh Valley here I come, right back where I started from…

That's right, I am coming home for my first official book signing in my hometown. Here are the details: Saturday, May 17, 2008 1-3 pm Barnes & Noble Booksellers The Shops at Saucon Valley 2960 Center Valley Pkwy Ste 742 Center Valley, PA 18034 610-791-3261 I will be reading from the book briefly and answering questions as well as signing copies!

Rosie O’Donnell bought my book!

OMG! So I have been emailing/stalking Rosie O'Donnell now for like a month or so.I don't really think it can be considered stalking since it's an option on her webpage, but nonetheless! She has a great webpage, www.rosie.com where she posts video, blogs and has a great interactive question and answer portion. She actually answers fans questions—which just this fact alone--makes her rock in my opinion!!!

Veggie delight in Philly and Miley Cyrus

I have returned from my travels in Philadelphia. It was a great trip and I must say that I think I single handedly revitalized the city's economy. Seriously, the mayor should give me like a certificate or something. I went a little crazy but it was way fun! I miss the big city environment if not simply for the wonderful vegetarian and vegan options at so many restaurants…

Crutching and Philadelphia

Holla! I hope your weekend served you well. I had a great one with one minor exception. I was at my usual Saturday morning body combat class, throwing punches and kicking the air like Jackie Chan on crack. This is how I roll…

UCONN ATHLETICS ROCK MY WORLD!

Oh I said it and I know yes, technically, I am a Penn State Alumni and I am not deterring from my duties as a respectfully proud alumni...in fact I invoked Dear Old State multiple times and paid homage to my alma mater. However, I must give props where props are due and University of Connecticut was nothing but good times!!

Thank you central PA!

Wow, is all I can say about my first book signing at Barnes and Noble! I am so grateful for all of you who came out to hear me speak and to purchase my book. I couldn't believe every time I looked up how many more faces I saw in the crowd. You were a beautiful group of people and so encouraging for me as the author!

April is National Sexual Assault Awareness Month!

And as you can see my schedule is getting rather crazy! But it is all good in the hood. I am so excited to be able to spread the message of awareness everywhere I possibly can. Please check out my tour page to see where I will be in the month of April. I have several events coming up including radio and lots of travel…
