Hello everyone!

I have recently started blogging for a great recovery webpage, www.thesecondroad.org and my first post was just uploaded.  Here is a sneak peek at it…

Having an active addict in your life is probably one of the most excruciatingly painful experiences a person can have.  The word powerless cannot even begin to capture the utter devastation, hopelessness and futility one can feel while being in the presence of an active addict. It is gut-wrenching and heart-breaking to watch someone you care about make all the wrong decisions. 

Almost every time I travel and speak with my new book, Blackout Girl: Growing Up and Drying Out in America, inevitably the question comes up “How can I help an active addict?”  I see the…

Well you should!

The Pennsylvania School Librarians Association has just voted my book among the Pennsylvania Young Adult Top Forty books of 2008!!  Woo hoo!!!

On my recent visit to Philadelphia, I ventured into the Philadelphia Free Library and it is incredible!  I also had my super secret hot librarian friend look my book up and I was checked out at almost all the locations!!

I do so loved to get checked out so please head into your nearest library and CHECK ME OUT!!!

That’s right, I am coming home for my first official book signing in my hometown.  Here are the details: 

Saturday, May 17, 2008 1-3 pm 
Barnes & Noble Booksellers
The Shops at Saucon Valley
2960 Center Valley Pkwy Ste 742
Center Valley, PA 18034
610-791-3261

 I will be reading from the book briefly and answering questions as well as signing copies! I love The Shops at Saucon Valley!  If you have never been there, you must come out as they have amazing stores!!!  I will most likely be found in Starbucks or Lucky Brand Jeans meandering about before or after my signing.If you cannot make that one, you can find me on Friday June 20th, at The Whitehall Mall, Barnes and Noble at 7:00PM.  More details to follow….hopefully I will see you this Saturday!!

OMG!  So I have been emailing/stalking Rosie O’Donnell now for like a month or so.  I don’t really think it can be considered stalking since it’s an option on her webpage, but nonetheless! 

She has a great webpage, www.rosie.com where she posts video, blogs and has a great interactive question and answer portion.  She actually answers fans questions—which just this fact alone–makes her rock in my opinion!!!

Here is a link to my May/June Column in Mystic Pop Magazine. Please check it out! It is an online magazine so all you have to do is click and read.  Let me know your thoughts on this one as it is a bit controversial.

 I have returned from my travels in Philadelphia.  It was a great trip and I must say that I think I single handedly revitalized the city’s economy.  Seriously, the mayor should give me like a certificate or something.  I went a little crazy but it was way fun!  I miss the big city environment if not simply for the wonderful vegetarian and vegan options at so many restaurants.  I can actually walk into most trendy little places and find multiple options for my little veggie palate!  Not so much in central PA….the options are pasta or salad. Seriously, can I get some tofu please!!  I had….drum roll please….Tofu BBQ Wings that were to die for at this little place called The Belgium Café on 21st and Green Street, if you are ever in Philly, I highly recommend this place it was awesome!

Holla! I hope your weekend served you well.  I had a great one with one minor exception.  I was at my usual Saturday morning body combat class, throwing punches and kicking the air like Jackie Chan on crack.  This is how I roll.

Oh I said it and I know yes, technically, I am a Penn State Alumni and I am not deterring from my duties as a respectfully proud alumni…in fact I invoked Dear Old State multiple times and paid homage to my alma mater.  However, I must give props where props are due and University of Connecticut was nothing but good times!!

Wow, is all I can say about my first book signing at Barnes and Noble!  I am so grateful for all of you who came out to hear me speak and to purchase my book.  I couldn’t believe every time I looked up how many more faces I saw in the crowd.  You were a beautiful group of people and so encouraging for me as the author!  Thank you so very much.  We had over 100 people packed into that area of the book store last night.  Barnes and Noble ran out of books!!!! Now there is a problem any author wants to have!!!

And as you can see my schedule is getting rather crazy!  But it is all good in the hood.  I am so excited to be able to spread the message of awareness everywhere I possibly can.  Please check out my tour page to see where I will be in the month of April.  I have several events coming up including radio and lots of travel.  I have many work-related requirements this month also as it is National Victims Rights Week during April 13th – 18^th also.
