Today is March 20. In six days (SIX DAYS!) TRACKING TRASH will officially be released into the world. I am living my last days as an unpublished author in a state of near-constant distraction. Things are crazy exciting. For example …
I have been busily publicizing my first Massachusetts book signing. This will be the first opportunity for my friends and family to see (um, I mean BUY) my book. The signing will be held at the Barnes & Noble at Lincoln Plaza in Worcester on Wednesday, April 18 at 7pm. It is going to be a blast! And I will put to rest, once and for all time, that recurring nightmare of me, ALONE, beside a mountain of unsold copies of TRACKING TRASH.
People, complete strangers in fact, are suddenly interested in talking to me. Reporters. Photographers. School enrichment coordinators, librarians, and event organizers. These way cool folks want to hear the story behind TRACKING TRASH, and how I came to write it. I will never, ever, ever tire of telling them!
As if all this weren’t enough to go to a girl’s head, just this afternoon I was informed by my publicist at Houghton Mifflin that the producers of WBUR’s “Here and Now” have requested an interview. With me. On the radio.
Ahhhhh!
