    Lots of Seven People!

    Thanks again to all these pretty people who came out to the downtown Borders in Washington, DC this past weekend. Thanks to the fantastic people who worked the store (special thanks to Annika, who I think we might have turned into a derby girl), Morgan Davidson for her tireless efforts at getting me in that…

    People in the Washington DC area: Please Come See Me. Friday, June 18th, 6:30pm Washington, D.C. – 18th & L St – Borders 1801 K Street NW Washington, DC 20006 I have a feeling there’s going to be about six people there and I’m going to feel guilty and end up taking everybody to dinner.…

  • good reviews and me dorking out on someone else’s website.

    I love largehearted boy. First of all, he says nice things about me: Few writers are as funny as Pamela Ribon, who infuses her novels with satirical humor alongside honest glimpses into our most intimate relationships. Going in Circles is her new novel, a work that blends divorce, heartbreak, roller derby, and friendship into one…

    Mom just brought me a chewable calcium supplement. Two, actually. “One for later,” she said, because Jason told her that Dr. Oz said somewhere that we can only absorb so much calcium at one time, so we need to take it in two doses. I am terrible at remembering to take vitamins, but I’m even…

    The book signing went well! By the end of the hour it looked like a Derby Gang had shown up to be my bodyguards, and perhaps their intimidating size could be the reason the place sold out my books before everybody got a chance to get a copy. Note to writers: get a gang. When…

  • 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…

    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 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…
