Thanks for checking out my Web site! I’m afraid I’ve been awful about updating it. I blame my sons. They’re 4 and halfway to 2 — very blameworthy ages, if you ask me.

I was so touched by Howard Norman’s introduction and the turn-out at my DC reading. Thanks to everyone who came! FYI: rumors that I was seen sipping from a flask (at 7 months pregnant) have not been confirmed.

If bestselling Chinese author Zhang Yiyi undergoes 10 surgeries to look like Shakespeare, maybe I’ll get surgery to look like Zhang Yiyi. I’m so getting the hang of this book publicity stuff! – http://j.mp/fyvlyW
