  • Possibly the Only Perk About Not Being Allowed to Play Roller Derby.

    [scripty] PAMIE A quick impression of the lady who just gave me a pedicure. She was like, “OH.” Held up my foot. “Oh.” JASON That poor woman. PAMIE I know. She put on latex gloves. Nobody else was wearing gloves. It was embarrassing. She thought I had some kind of foot condition. JASON Did you…

  • friendly reminder: this weekend

    People of the Los Angeles area! I’m doing a reading/signing at the Barnes and Noble at the Grove tomorrow afternoon at 2pm. No, really! Please come. This is me inviting you.

  • Hi! This is awkward, right?

    First I wanted to thank those of you who have written personally or blogged publicly about how much you enjoyed/identified with Going in Circles. Your words are very kind, and truly appreciated. I mentioned earlier that All You Magazine has chosen Going in Circles as its Book Club Selection for May. They’ve now posted their…

  • interview: The Big Idea | Whatever

    What happens in this novel bears little resemblance to what happened in my own. This is not a memoir. But the emotions the main character is struggling with that cause her to believe she might actually be going crazy — that’s where this story comes from. Because when things are in limbo like that, when…

  • Big Week, Big Day

    1. Success! We hit over 200 donations for the Dewey Donation System! 2. The show I was working on over the winter, Romantically Challenged, starring Alyssa Milano, premieres tonight on ABC after Dancing With the Stars. I believe in the next month they’re airing four of the six episodes we shot. 3. Going in Circles…

  • Dewey Update: Michigan is for Book Lovers

    Sorry for the delay; yesterday was a little hectic, and with this bum knee it takes me twice as long to accomplish something. And you guys accomplished something, too, with 156 donations and counting. Thank you! It’s still National Library Week, so let’s go help: Benton Harbor Public Library Children’s Department: Benton Harbor, Michigan Benton…

  • torn.

    PAMIE: [Answering phone] Hello? MOM: Do you have something you need to tell me? PAMIE: … Um… uh… well, uh… do you want to maybe give me a hint or a topic? Because this seems like a trick. MOM: Your knee. PAMIE: Oh. MOM: I do read your website, you know. I didn’t, but I…

  • Down and Dewey — Day Fourish

    We’re just a few books away from one hundred donations to libraries in need and I can’t thank you guys enough for your help. Today’s wishlists: Hardee County Public Library: Their call for help on their webpage alone should be enough. Already having to close their doors on the weekends, Hardee County Public Library, which…

  • on hospitals and aliens.

    Dewey update: eighty donations to hospitals, detention centers, schools and library programs. It’s a rough time for fundraising, you guys. I know that I did this all quickly and on the sly, and you have all been fantastic at spreading the word, including some heavy twitter-hitters, but normally Dewey gets a few more books than…

  • dewey day two

    I can’t stop messing with these MRI scans the imaging center gave me on a disc to take home. So I put up today’s Dewey contest to give me something to do that will actually be productive. Did you know it’s National Library Week? Go hug your library. It misses you and you will certainly…
