Pick Me Up
I work with lots of authors and know a lot of writers and sometimes those people end up being my friends, which is very cool for a bibliophile like myself. However, now? I know someone who was my friend before becoming a published author. And that is very cool. Because when she's all famous I can say, "Sigh. I knew her WHEN!" And if people don't believe me they can look in the acknowledgements and I'll point out my name. And then they'll say that lots of people end up in acknowledgement sections of books and la di da, I was probably someone important's assistant who photocopied a few pages of the manuscript for them at some point. Which is sorta true. For other books. But for this one! I actually know and love Zoe and am very proud to have had the chance to read the book in it's wee stages and am especially happy to announce that you can now go buy this book. In stores! Online! Everywhere!
It's a really fun story with great characters, and it's all set in the art world. What's not to love? It also happens to be hilarious and slightly addicting. Beware the missed subway stop.
And? If you live in New York you can participate in the double bonus of getting the book and actually meeting Zoe at the Park Slope Barnes and Nobel on June 14th (7:30 pm, 267 Seventh Avenue at the corner of 6th Street). I hope you'll check out the book and give it a read. You know I'll do the same for you when you finally get around to pounding out that novel.
Wow, Liz, thanks for the AWESOMENESS. Can I quote you in an ad? "Liz, of Liz Is Working says, 'Hilarious! Addicting! Beware subway!"
YAY ZOE!
Very awesome! I was just saying the other day that I don't know enough authors. :)
Yay Zoe!
Say, are you coming to the Barnes and Noble in Jackson, MS, too? Because that would be awesome, if not totally unlikely.
Wow, very cool! This makes me want to get off my ass and finish my novel... ;) Speaking of books, how's The Man of My Dreams? I read her first book and enjoyed it.
If you liked Prep, you'll like the new one. It's the very same type of voice and calm unfolding of events, not necessarily leading to any big conclusion. I really enjoyed this one.
that's pretty awesome, friend of liz's! i'll have to read it this summer. congrats from someone who knows exactly how hard it is to get a book published!!!!
YEA, Zoe! I can't wait to read it!
