Not A Sonnet, But Something In Purple Satin by Deb Danielle Younge-Ullman

I wrote goofy sonnets for each of the other deb releases this year. I don’t know if I can do that for this book. But bear with me… What I want, after reading Cancer is a Bitch, is to run out and live my life.

Kate and I met recently at Books Inc in San Francisco where I read from Falling Under, she read from Without A Backward Glance, we held a Q&A and then hung out afterward with some friends and fellow debs.

The Debs Take Utopia by Deb Danielle Younge-Ullman

One of my biggest dreams came true this year with the publication of Falling Under. Of course, it didn’t all happen the way I imagined it, which means it was both more and less than I expected.
