Well, my people, All the Ugly and Wonderful Things has been loose in the world for ten days now. Now that I’ve got an evening to sit on the couch and pet dogs, I thought I’d do a little wrap up of my last two weeks. There were three TV appearances, two radio interviews, four interviews for other things, and four book signings!
Back when I worked for Planned Parenthood, I had to get up in front of people and talk all the time, but I’ve never been in the habit of discussing my own stuff, so it was a bit of a gantlet. For fun, here’s a little slideshow of my past two weeks.
As for what’s coming up … well, I’ll be in San Diego for a day-long book club event at Mysterious Galaxy in October. (Have not yet worked out whether I’ll actually be doing just a reading/signing.)
I’m in Lawrence Magazine this month. And I’m on Bustle.com. Heck, look in your glove compartment. Maybe I’m in there, too. (If so, could you slip me some chocolate?)
Also I’m Skyping with book clubs! If you’re interested in having me chat with your book club, get more info here.
And at some point, when my head is spinning a little less, I’ll be buckling down to work on the next book.

I visited Mysterious Galaxy when I was in San Diego looking after my daughter. It specializes in science fiction and mystery and has very knowledgable folks running the store. I hope you have a good time out there! If you have hosts, have them take you to a taqueria for fish tacos, a San Diego specialty. Cotixan Mexican Food, which is just around the corner from the bookstore, is taco heaven imo. You’re also very close to 85C Bakery, which specializes in French patisserie cakes and bread done with an East Asian twist. Good place for morning coffee and sweet rolls: my daughter loves the taro bread, but I’m an old fashioned croissant eater, and 85C’s are so wonderful they made me want to get up early to beat the crowds there.
I’ll flag my daughter and see if she can make it to your event. She also happens to live not far from MG and all the food places I mentioned.
Well, darn. It turns out I’ll actually be in the Mission Viejo location of MG, but I am still super excited to be coming out to California.
What a fun and exciting time! I love all the pictures! You look mah-velous and happy!
I was having a splendid time! I still am, in fact! 😀
