SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Alrighty!!! The BOOK (all capitals for some reason to my mind!) is ready, done, printed, published and available for actual READING RIGHT NOW. (Aren't you beyond excited???) The QUICKEST way to get it into your hot little hands (and just in time for the HOLIDAY of your choice) is to call FIREBRAND BOOKS RIGHT NOW. Seriously. Operators are standing by.
They will match Amazon's price of $10.47 and do priority mail (which is 2-3 days in the continental U.S. for $4.00 - or media mail for 1.50, if there's no hurry). BUT folks will have to call directly at 248-738-8202 to order because. You know. Unlike in my mind where there are THOUSANDS of days until the holiday... there really aren't. I mean Hanukkah starts tonight and Solstice is :::checks calendar::: on Sunday and then there's Kwanzaa which is SOON and Christmas is NEXT WEEK. Seriously. Less than a week.
So. Go! Call! Support a wonderful independent feminist press. And. You know that you're going to have a long weekend with your family around and you're going to want something to read.
This is the book you're gonna want to read.
*grin*

The crack team at the Design Asylum (http://www.thedesignasylum.com/) have been *on* it and have designed a whole new Dish It Up, Baby web site. Check it out at http://www.dishitupbaby.com. And be sure to click onto my new blog at http://dishitupbaby.typepad.com/. I figure everyone needs a virtual home -- this one is mine. You're gonna love it.

ONLINE AUTHOR APPEARANCES
If you or your organization has a blog, webzine, online diary or chat room and would like to schedule an "author's day" -- drop me an email! During an "Author's Day," you can interview me, let me take over your site (hahahaha!), allow me to hang out with the blog's author (if we're in the same area), and more! It's like having a personal reading -- on your own Web site.

PERSONAL BOOK CLUB CHATS
Ever wonder what the author was really thinking in a certain passage? Want to know if that cat Alice is supposed to be symbolic of all cats everywhere, or just one really specific and cranky, grey, striped tabby? Well. Now you can find out. I will make personal or virtual or online or speaker phone appearances (that I can fit into my calendar) to any book club reading "Dish It Up Baby" at any time in 2004. How cool is that? Just drop me an email.
