Book Sale, Radio Interview, Giveaway!

Book sale! I wanted to end this year on a high note, and what’s more appealing than a book sale (well, besides world peace)? Yes, I’ve reduced the price of Getting Naked for Money on Amazon from $15.99 to $10.99. Get the bargain while it lasts — until January 1. In 2017, well…who knows? This is a sure thing. Why […]

Screw You, 2016. With Carrie Fisher, It’s Personal

Dear 2016, It’s official. You’re the worst. The election was bad enough. Now you take Carrie Fisher, too? You’re deplorable. Lots of my early icons died this year. David Bowie. Muhammed Ali. John Glenn. I was saddened by their departures, for their roles in my past. But Carrie Fisher was supposed to be part of the future, a […]

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: Kitties & Camels & Goats, Oh My

I am slowly working my way towards thanking all the folks who posted pictures for my Cyber Monday promotion of Getting Naked for Money. Three Cats Along with Amanda Castleman’s adorable bundle of fur, pictured at the top of this page, I’d like to credit two other feline friends of GNFM. The kitty contribution below […]

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: Spokesdogs, Pt. 2

As promised — more dogs promoting Getting Naked for Money. While naked. Not Everyone Is a Pet Blogger… But some people comment on pet blogs. I first met Carla Thurber, whose Gracie is featured on the top of this page, on Will My Dog Hate Me. Carla is not sure about the James Thurber connection, but Gracie seems to be embracing […]

Endorsers, Great & Small: Dogs & the Bloggers Who Love Them, Pt.1

What do these pet bloggers, travel bloggers, and genealogy bloggers have in common? They all enlisted their cute pooches to endorse Getting Naked for Money.

Forget the Election: Buy My Book

I haven’t exactly held back from being political here, what with my Post-Election Letter to Hillary and other allusions to my presidential preference. My Facebook feed is even more direct about my views, and my Twitter account? Fuggedabout it. Anyone who knows me knows I’ve been feeling gloomy about the election’s outcome. This makes the upbeat persona required […]

Contest: Would You Go On a Nudist Vacation? Tell Me & Win a Book

I am not a nudist, though I played one as a journalist. When I was offered an assignment from More magazine to go to a nudist resort–undercover and uncovered–I was skeptical, to say the least. I was no prude. I’d been to a couple of nude beaches and had done some youthful skinny dipping. And, hey, I’m […]

A Post-Election Letter to Hillary

I posted on Facebook that I was down about the election, that I didn’t have the heart to market my book. Several people suggested I send a copy to Hillary. So I did.

Tucson Launch of Getting Naked for Money

Dateline: November 2, 2016. It is the last game of the World Series to end all World Series. The Chicago Cubs, who haven’t won a game in 108 years, are playing the Cleveland Indians, who last nabbed the pennant in 1948. Talk about stiff competition for an event. So I was doubly thrilled with the turnout for […]

NaBoMarMo: National Book Marketing Month Challenge

I can’t believe it. We’re practically halfway through November and I didn’t think to give myself a book-related challenge. How did that happen? I’m so good at self-flagellation and self-inflicted pain. Last Year’s Challenge: Writing Here’s what I posted last year. Somehow, November has come to be designated the month of writing challenges. Write Part […]

Hillary Clinton, My Literary Muse

Hillary Clinton helped me finish my memoir. Not the candidate herself, of course, but the example of her life. I’m sorry I didn’t make that clear earlier on in this election cycle. I was being, well, politic. No longer. Fear of Being Tarnished It’ll come as a surprise to exactly no one who knows me that I’m a […]
