We seem to be rolling through the last week of 2011 at a barrelling clip. I’m going hammer and tongs at a bunch of things, all at once, and some of them are really big and kind of scary. Some of them are the kinds of things where I am just taking a deep [...]
I’ve just gotten home from my road trip. For those of you who couldn’t make it, here’s a photo of Elizabeth, the events manager at the wondrous Charis Books, introducing my reading. The photo was taken by my lovely, talented, and stylish assistant Alysia. Apparently she also took a closeup of my fishnet-clad legs at [...]
The fabulous Tracy Clark-Flory interviewed me about Big Big Love and fat sex in general for Salon.com. It appeared over the weekend, and has been getting lots of attention. Check it out! (But as for the comments, as ever, caveat lector.) I’ve done several other interviews that haven’t hit print yet, but I will keep y’all posted [...]

I’m writing a couple of book proposals right now, and it’s always more surprising than it should be just how great a leap of faith it is. Book proposals — like dissertation proposals, for those who are more familiar with that process — require you to do some but not all of your research and [...]
Were you one of the people who read, and benefited in some way or other, from the original edition of Big Big Love that came out in 2000? If so, read on. As you may be aware, an all-new, updated, revised, illustrated, and 100% gorgeous new edition of Big Big Love is slated to come out [...]
