It's different in here.

Another shot that could have been the cover.
People often comment on how gorgeous the cover of Girls in Trucks is. I had absolutely nothing to do with it, but I couldn’t agree more. It was shot by Cig Harvey, who also does those funky Kate Spade ads.
Just for fun, here are some out takes from the shoot. If you want to read more about how the cover was created, *pick up the paperback*, which includes the details of the shot and other fun extras. (On sale April 7th.)
Well, it was bound to happen.
With a blog named “the procrastination chronicles”, how could I not put off posting for five months?
Actually, I wasn’t procrastinating. I was just too busy working on my next book to blog. The title, as of now, is “Men and Dogs”. Can’t say more than that yet except the obvious, which is the plot involves men and canines. I started it two years ago…it’s now 1,284 cups of coffee and several white hairs later (for some reason redheads get whites, not greys) and I finally came up with an end I like.
Pressing that send button to email it to my editor, not so easy. The wine helped. Should be out in a year.
Am presently cleaning up the shambles of my life. Bills…so easy to ignore in favor of writing the next scene! And let’s not even talk about my personal life. I already used the word shambles, yes? Upgrade to: ashes and scorched earth.
More fun than the bills, though, is planning my April vacation. I believe Thailand needs me! Phew! My procrastination skills are coming back strong.
Obama fundraisers, a fantastic way to put off writing. I’m doing it for America! More wine, please!
here's something to listen to while YOU procrastinate
It’s a recording of me reading “How To Date A Masochist” at a bar. Based on experience! Enjoy!
what i learned yesterday
tequila shots at 35 make me dumb the next day.
also, my dog eats grass when i forget to put food in her bowl in the morning.
i'm old today! and reading out loud about it...
it’s my birthday. i’m half of 70!
in order to forget that i’ll be spending the day preparing to read at the Makeout Room tonight. I’m up with some super famous and awesome writers. (Daniel Handler, Aimee Bender, etc.) nerves! the ultimate birthday freakout eliminator!

i taught daisy to shake hands today. this took about 2 hours. altho her new trick isn’t really a hand shake, it’s more of a paw tap. which she sort of did before. still, it’s really cute and it was a lot more fun than writing chapter 7.
look: i have a brother.
old pictures are fun to stare at when you should be working!
now we are both bigger. i still read books and wear bright colors. he no longer plays tee ball.
