So I was recently in my hoity toity hometown of Palo Alto, California, and while I was there I did an interview with Don Kazak, the Books editor for the Palo Alto Weekly. He did a nice write-up of me for the paper. I especially liked it that he attended my reading, and said that the passages I read were “wickedly funny.” That reading was lots of fun, as my mom packed the Mountain View Books, Inc. with all her friends, and they sold out of books. A few of my friends were there too, including two high school friends I hadn’t seen in at least 15 years.

That is one of the best things about writing a book - all these people crawl out of the woodwork from your past. I’ve heard from several high school friends and at least one college friend that I’d lost track of. One reason I chose not to write under a pseudonym! Well actually the reason was more along the lines of “I want everyone to know I’ve hit it big.” Still, it has been great hearing from everyone.
