Yeah, well, i thought i’d better add another post here because the first one is probably getting a bit stale. So here’s the news, if you can call it news: My book comes out on tuesday, as in three days from now. Am i freaking out? If you are a friend of mine, you know the answer. The real question is: am i freaking out even more than my normal, regular, daily, completely gooner city freak out? Survey says……..YES! i am! Look, i’m not trying to tell you what to do or anything, but maybe if you run into me at the grocery store or something, you could just give me a big smile and say, “Loved your book!” Doesn’t matter if you’re lying. Except that you won’t be lying. Because, really, my book is good.

But here is freak out number two. That same morning, which i forgot to say is JULY SEVENTH, i also am making a morning appearance on KING 5 news. Thank God no one watches that show. Still……… And the thing is, they want me to talk about my old boyfriend and what it feels like to get dumped–just like the main character in my book! As if! So i have to come up with a plan before 8:40 a.m. Tuesday  morning. If you have any ideas for me, let me know.

yours,

mary

yes, i finally got my domain name back after some jerk stole it from me for one entire year. thank you, lord. And you, the jerk, you know who you are–bad karma city! Enjoy!

But back to me and my new website that my son so lovingly put back together for me. Everyone should have a 21 year old son to do things for them. It’s kind of hard getting through those first 20 years, but then it pays off.

Yes, yes, yes, i should be talking about my new book. Because if you have taken the time to look up this website, you are probably wondering if i have finally gotten around to writing another one. Well, the wait is over. My new book comes out on July  7th. It’s called “Gone to the Dogs” but as you read it (if you read it–i don’t want to get cocky that you’re actually going to go out and buy yourself a copy. But puh-lease, it’s a trade paperback, you can afford it), as you read it, be thinking “I Hope You’re Very Happy” which was the title i gave it, but which the publisher decided they would change. Am i still a tiny bit pissed off about the change? I won’t answer that question here, because my editor will probably read this. Hilary, i love ya! Love the new title! Sell my book!

i think this is enough for post number one. Come back and visit me soon because i’m going to try my best to write stupid shit here on a regular basis. You won’t want to miss it.

as ever, mary
