Thank you.

Thank you to all of the readers who have contacted me to say you love Whiskey Road. It has been a long process, and I can’t honestly say I’ve enjoyed all of it. I love the novel I wrote, but the journey from writing the book to seeing it in bound form is long and can truly drain a person’s creativity and confidence.

I’ve been having a tough time getting into my next projects, but each time I hear from someone, I’m motivated to keep working. The really cool thing is, no one just says “I loved Whiskey Road.” All of you have written to say how much you enjoyed His Insignificant Other and Such a Girl. And you urge me to write a new one soon.

I don’t know when my next book will be finished, but please keep your correspondence coming. It may seem like a small gesture, but it means so much! Thank you!

Yes We Can.

Mad Men Marathon.

We’ve been watching the Mad Men season one marathon on AMC all day. My husband’s hooked. He likes it more than I do. There was a point when we thought Don Draper, the anti-Semitic lead character, was hiding the fact that he’s Jewish, and the show became a lot more interesting to me. Three or four episodes later we realized we were wrong. Still, his attraction to a Jewish client is one of my favorite plotlines. She’s the best female on the show, but there’s way too little of her.

The second season begins next Sunday. If you haven’t watched it, try to find a way to see more than the first episode. It’s worth it.
