| Saturday, December 29, 2001 I just found out that the French translation of "Diary" already has a page at Amazon.fr! Le journal d'une call girl will be published by Florent Massot in March and the translator is Dov Rueff. This is very exciting! (Je suis psyched!) Friday, December 28, 2001 This just up: Bill Thompson's Eye on Books Just found out that my interview with Bill Thompson is up and running. You can listen with RealAudio or Windows Media. Go to the Fiction corner of Bill Thompson's website and click on the book cover. Or click here on the author index. (Eye on Books is a nationally syndicated radio show: this interview may air in January.) Wednesday, December 26, 2001 Merry Christmas -- Page Six Yesterday, I was having Christmas dinner with friends when someone mentioned she had seen this item on Page Six of the New York Post! If you have yesterday's Post from December 25, check it out. Even as a small child, I never believed in Santa but now I'm beginning to reconsider. Perhaps, if you're a bad girl all year, St. Nick slips a Page Six mention into your stocking. It's a nice theory!

Sunday, December 02, 2001 Tonight & Tuesday: Baltimore radio interview in 99 cities Listen live from the WCBM website On Monday 12/3 at 1:00 AM, Capital Conversation hosted by John Tegler airs a 45-minute interview on WCBM AM-680 in Baltimore. This conversation airs again on Tuesday between 5:00 - 6:00 pm.... and throughout the week on 99 other East Coast stations from Florida to Maine. Listen live on the Internet with Windows Media or Real Audio by going to www.WCBM.com when it airs. I really enjoyed this interview. Tegler freely shares with me his opinions about the various characters in Nancy Chan's life and takes an interest in the politics of the hookers movement. His personality is a curious combo of macho yet sensitive -- I think women and men will both enjoy listening! |
