Em's Bookshelf Interview

Saturday, December 22, 2007


So here I am relaxing now that nearly all my Christmas gifts are bought and wrapped, and all but one client project put to bed, and college application angst a thing of the not-so-distant past (okay, not really: my skin was never porcelain, my lips were never pouty full, my nose doesn't sweep toward perfection, and I can't find my pearl-encrusted bathing cap). Here is me, I should say, in my own mind's eye. A little less crazed.

And then, in the midst of a sigh, I receive an email from a really wonderful (extraordinarily generous) reader and writer named Em, who reports that a conversation we had over email has now been posted on her blog.

Boy, has she done an artful job of arranging the text and the images, and truly, she is very kind.

Here is the URL if you'd like to check it out for yourself. She asked good questions, made me think hard.

Thank you, Em. For being one of the very first to read and celebrate UNDERCOVER, and now perhaps the first (outside the editing circle) to have read HOUSE OF DANCE. You may never know just how much that means.

Thanks for all the kind words, Beth! I have a feeling that this post will be one of my favorite Christmas presents. :-)

Happy Holidays!

Oh, and I just came across this post today from Not Your Mother's Bookclub at Books Inc in CA. They have probably the best teen program in the country, and I was so excited to see that Undercover made their top YA books of 2007 list. http://community.livejournal.com/notyourmothers/78950.html

Jeepers, Em — you bring such glad tidings that I am finding it difficult to focus on all the foodstuff preparations of this day!

Not Your Mother's Bookclub is indeed one of the great bastions of smart stuff out there, and I am hugely honored by their acknowledgment of UNDERCOVER.

Thank you, NYMB, and thank you, Em. Would you like a Christmas brownie?
