Time to Try Again

ABC is bringing a new sitcom into the lineup April 3rd - How to Live With Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life). The main character, Polly, comes back to live with her parents bringing her daughter along.

I need to get copies of my book "The Crowded Nest Syndrome" to the producers and see if they won't use it in one of their scripts! My book is an Erma Bombeck like experience about living with returning adult children. It would be perfect for the show.

All I can do is try, eh? Autographed copies with cover letters being very professional and respectful, eh?

Okay, that's my goal this weekend - to find names and addresses and mail out x-amount of copies of CNS and try to drum up some attention for my title.

The Year of 9's

2007 should be a lucky year for me, it's a 9 year.
2+0+0+7=9
I love 9's and this year falls into a bushel of them. I celebrate my 18th wedding anniversary in September. (And they said it would never last.) Then I turn 54, another 9! Should I play the lottery? Swing by the Indian casino? How do you take advantage of such atypical momentum?

So far, it seems no different. I'm deep into my day job working with authors at Gorham Printing. Short-run digital printing is becoming more and more popular. I presented at Write On the Beach Writers Conference in January, encouraging the students. Independent publishing can be quite successful if they're ready to put their shoulder to the market madness.

I'm shopping for an agent with Randi Altschul for our commercial women's fiction titled "Sorry, You Can't Enter Heaven." Wish us luck. Buck Henry's read it and loved it. It's great fodder for water cooler talk, and a film vehicle for seasoned actresses like Susan Sarandon or Sally Fields. I'm ready to go Hollywood.
