Some personal news! My new ebook, Notes from a Hired Pen: Freelance Writing for Laid-Off Journalists (and Those Who Want to Quit) is now out! Hooray! It’s usually $10 but discounted to $7 for the launch.
Oprah’s Book Club turns 100! Well, has chosen it’s 100th book.
Toni Morrison is now on a stamp!
I know some people are mad about Leigh Bardugo getting a reported eight-figure book deal. But she’s popular, her book sell, so…what? I’m way more annoyed about people who become famous for being dicks immediately signing a book contract. Remember “Princeton Mom?”
I did not know book vending machines were a thing! Now I do. And you do too.
Expect to see this on the blog in the future: Chita Rivera has a new book out next month. I hope she reads the audiobook!
