New Orleans Book Fair

I'll be at the New Orleans Book Fair on Saturday, October 26, and I have my Very Own Table at which I will be giving you tattoos, stickers, and magnets that say, "Read a Book, You Illiterate Baboon." Come and visit me and watch my Powerpoint presentation on which I spent at least 40 minutes, during which time I could have been sewing myself a costume. You can also visit my publisher, FC2, especially at the reading that will be in the evening on Friday, October 25, featuring FC2 authors and other indy press icons for example my comrade Susannah Breslin, whose book, You're a Bad Man, Aren't You? will be launching at the fair.

Domain Name Hijacking!

Some people with no soul managed to yank my domain name from under my pert, pregnant bottom just recently. So, if you go to the actual lilylit.com, which you of course never ever would from now on, you would find some sort of hideous den of literary agents or something. Very naughty. While I rearrange myself and figure out what I'm going to do about things, my temporary address is http://www.rpsd.com/lilylit/ as you see. I need to redo the whole site of course since I no longer want to vet manuscripts or do author web sites, unless I know you and love you. Here are some other sites you might like to see, if you like me:

High Drama in the Classroom!

Thanks to Cam Tatham, a very interesting critifictionist and a damn fine educator, my novel, High Drama in Fabulous Toledo, was inflicted on a group of undergraduate literature students at the University of Wisconsin Madison last semester, and is again this semester being inflicted on another unsuspecting class. I got to participate in the class discussion on blackboard.com and it was an extremely interesting experience. Apart from having pies thrown at me by fundamentalists, I also found out an enormous amount about how some people read my book, and it was also fun. I'm looking forward to another semester of it this Spring. Thank you Dr. Tatham! 

New Book In the Works!

My new novel will be called How to Tell Toledo From the Night Sky unless you can come up with a better title. Save me! Please! It's about astronomers and love and postmodernism in the rust belt. If I can clean the baby food off the manuscript.
