At this so totally exact moment, details are being firmed up for me to appear (be heard?) on Martha Stewart Living Radio. (Did you know she has her own radio station?)
The interview on the KIDSTUFF show will take place in January. However, Martha herself will not be interviewing me, which is too bad because we have so much in common. Like . . .
1. She bakes cookies. I eat cookies.
2. She once went to prison. I once got a jaywalking ticket.
3. She has her own line of "Everyday" linens. I sleep between sheets everyday. (Okay, well if you want to get technical, everynight.)
4. She is really rich. I want to be really rich.
5. She has a house in the Hamptons. I once stayed at a Hampton Inn.
On Saturday I went to Susan Patron's booksigning at Children's Book World with pal Cynthia Kadohata. I drove and am happy to report that no one got hurt. (The last time I had a Newbery winner in my car, someone almost got decapitated.) We got to the bookstore early which was good because . . . I SAW A TACO TRUCK!!!
In the name of research, I've been chasing taco trucks for my next novel. So even though it was 10:30 a.m. I thought "I should have a taco" (for research). And I did. Yum!!! Later, I asked the owner of the truck if I could go inside (for research). He thought about it, discussed it with his wife, and then said, "No."
I think he thought I was a scary person.
Post taco (Cindy was so inspired by mine, she bought one too -- see above photo for proof), we listened to Susan (who is also Senior Librarian at the Los Angeles Public Library) read from her fabulous new novel, THE HIGHER POWER OF LUCKY. I meant to take a photo at the bookstore, but was too busy yammering and forgot.
Luckily (Get it? Her book's got the word LUCKY in the title. LUCKY -- LUCKILY . . . never mind), I did manage to take this POWERful photo OF Cindy holding the book(s) HIGHER than her knees while Susan cleverly hid behind THE no parking sign, or not.
