Deb Jennifer Interviewed on Mia’s Blog! Deb Mia is interviewing Deb Jennifer on her blog on Tuesday, April 3, one week before the official release of PROMISE NOT TO TELL. Swing by and hear all about the book and Deb Jennifer’s inspiration for her soon-to-be bestselling novel. Plus, there’s a recipe … towards the end of the book, the character Raven, one of the few remaining members of the commune, makes a big pot of this. However, events take a turn, and the ratatouille goes uneaten, which is too bad, as it’s mighty tasty stuff. Intrigued?
Buzz about Anna’s Book! Party Girl, Anna’s June-due novel, is already garnering some ink. The Spring issue of LA Confidential writes about the “molten-hot buzz around” the book, and the fact that “studios are sniffing around even before the book hits the shelves.” And Paper magazine “Goodreads, Good Times” blogger Alexis Swerdloff lists Party Girl as one of five books “people seem to like.” PG is the only book on the list (which recommends Dave Eggers and Alexandre Dumas novels, among others) that hasn’t been released yet.
We Like to Link! La Pauline 2.0, a blog by one Pauline Millard, a New Yorker, former Associated Press Online Editor, writing teacher, columnist for The Simon and sirensmag.com, and all-around groovy chick, is the latest to make our link cut. Check out her blog here.
And another grog has entered the sphere! Jungle Red, featuring the rad literary stylings of Hank Phillipi Ryan, Rosemary Harris, Hallie Ephron, and Jan Brogan, is definitely worth checking out, especially since, as they say: Writing well is the best revenge!

Deb Considers Herself One of the Lucky Many! Deb Tish is baffled and somewhat relieved to discover she’s made The Six Thousand list. Quite frankly, she’d have been satisfied with the Seven Thousand List, so this is just gravy. Check out: http://sixthousand.blogspot.com/2007/03/tish-cohen.html.
