What's New?
My new romantic comic novel, Bride of the Living Dead, is on the path to publication now.
Pearlsong Press will publish the book in a trade paperback edition in 2010. One of the joys of working with a small press is the personal touch and the commitment to keeping the books available for readers.
With founder Peggy Elam, Ph.D., at the helm, Pearlsong Press connects with readers in some innovative ways including weekly Health at Every Size broadcasts on Radio Free Nashville. I love the super positive music she plays! Peggy also schedules call-in teleconferences called Pearlsong Conversations, where anyone can call in to chat.
We talked about reading and writing fat-friendly fiction in Pearlsong's teleconferences for July and August 2009. We also had a Pearlsong Holiday Conversation in December where everyone got so absorbed in talking about the publishing business that we forgot to drink the virtual eggnog. Here are links to all the MP3 recordings (left-click on them if you want to download the files):

Virtual Holiday Party
I'm going to participate as much as possible in upcoming Pearlsong Conversations.
I'll keep you posted on new events as we schedule them, and send up fireworks when we reach actual lift-off—I mean publications!
