Here's the thing. . .
but it isn't my only book - OKAY!
Kangaroo Clues
is the first book I had published.
It is one of 6 rhyming picture books (on CD or download), that tell
about animals from the US and Australia -
fun and educational!

Most people are scared to death of talking in public. By the law averages and the fact that lots of shy people to end up writing, most writers are even more scared of reading in public.
A couple weeks ago, I took some lo-fi video of the Happy Ending reading series in New York. The event celebrated the literary journal, A Public Space, featuring an amazing list that included Ian Chillag (a producer at NPR's amazing Fresh Air) and my favorite National Book Award nominee, Jim Shepard.
The event was hosted and founded by novelist Amanda Stern, and I've turned my footage of her engaging reading into a lo-fi primer on how to make a better reading when you are sharing your stories, novels, or journalism.
What do you do when you are in a writing funk?
I was feeling swamped by all my projects this week, and I tried everything to raise my spirits: the gym, a glass of whisky, and a book by my favorite writer. Nothing worked.
Then, last night, I went out to a reading.
I took some video, and I'll show you something if I get the time. The reading celebrated the literary journal, A Public Space, featuring an amazing list that included Ian Chillag (a producer at NPR's amazing Fresh Air), fiction writer Jack Livings, and my favorite National Book Award nominee, Jim Shepard. And a band, just to break things up...
The event was hosted by kooky novelist Amanda Stern, who actually ended up cutting Ian's hair by the end of the night. It was a friendly, free community that I didn't even know existed.
If you feel swamped, hopeless, or writers-blocked, just go to a reading and meet some new writers, just like the Happy Ending reading series. Within five minutes of sitting down, I remembered why I love writing. That's all you need.
