Mark Your Calendars!

So I've heard rumors that The Artist in the Office is already appearing in some stores--this is THRILLING. I've also heard rumblings from many of you that you are awaiting delivery of your pre-ordered copy from Amazon. Good lord, people--THANK YOU for pre-ordering! I cannot WAIT for you to get them on or after Tuesday.

Today marks the official GET BACK TO WORK day at the Pierre Parsons household, aka Camp Gus. Graham left this morning into the snowy streets to return to teaching and here I am assembling something for y'all. I've actually been doing some work here and there for AITO and the next book, but what's exciting TODAY is that the last two nights Gus has decided to REBEL from his previous program of three 3 hour chunks of sleep to waking up EVERY HOUR. Just in time, kid! I feel like I look like Christopher Llyod's Jim in the show Taxi: hair array, with BULGING EYES and slightly smudged clothing. It's my first day solo too, to which I say, welcome to the REST OF YOUR LIFE!

In any case, there is A LOT brewing in my work life in the next week. ARE YOU READY?

Monday, February 1, 8:50am-I will be interviewed on Good Morning Hudson Valley on WLNA, 1420 AM. You can listen here too.

Tuesday, February 2 - THE ARTIST IN THE OFFICE HITS BOOKSTORES! I am anticipating New York to receive it like the Macy's Thanksgiving parade! I'll be the speck WAVING at the masses underneath the Snoopy Balloon.

You can order/buy it at:
Amazon, Powells, Barnes & Noble or buy it/order it at your favorite indie bookstore. Here are some of mine:
St. Mark's Bookshop, Bookshop Santa Cruz, Capitola Book Cafe, Kepler's, Bear Pond Books

Tuesday, February 2 - more interviews!

8:00 am Mountain time - Radio Cafe on KSFR, Santa Fe, NM! Listen here or if around Santa Fe, New Mexico, tune into 101.1 FM!

1o:00am EST - interview on The Morning Show at WBFJ, Salem, NC! Listen here or if in the Winston-Salem area, tune into 103.5 FM!

*HUGE HONOR ALERT!*
11:20am EST - interview on WNYC's Brian Lehrer Show. Listen here or if in the New York area tune into 93.9. This interview is as big as it gets, folks. This is one of those fantasies I had when I imagined my book coming out--and here I am!

Friday, February 5
7:30am EST - interview on Mary in the Morning, on YOU-FM, Traverse City, MI! Listen here or if in the Traverse City, MI area tune into 106.7!

Won't you tune in and help me KICK OFF this exciting time? Also, if any of you spot copies of AITO out in the world--snap a picture and send it to me, will you? There is a part of me that just can't believe this book will be OUT IN THE REAL WORLD!

From the office,
Summer
