America’s Next Top Kitty
Previously on America’s Next Top Kitty: Shapeless, orange kitty Bumble and his fierce gray counterpart Tove made it to the competition’s final two. Throughout the competition, they have grown up and grown out, from adorable kittens… …to no-less-adorable, slightly older kittens.

i speak good, y’all.
“But the stuff that’s going on isn’t much I haven’t talked about before.” What?! Seriously, I have to stop reading my own interviews.

why book tours are weird.
In a couple of hours I have an interview with a bat. Or a man named Bat. Or a bat posing as a man. The point is, I’m supposed to look like a real writer, one who knows what she’s doing, and can talk about it extensively and entertainingly enough that someone would want to…

this is a blurb.
“Ribon’s newest novel is hilarious and heartfelt. Why Moms Are Weird tackles the absurd morass of family with joyful wit and brutal honesty. I barrelled through this book.” — Jill Soloway, writer and co-executive producer of Six Feet Under, and author of Tiny Ladies In Shiny Pants. I like that blurb. Did you link to my…
