So much to write about! Things have been very exciting.
First of all, WE LOVE ALABAMA. The awesome Tonya Terry invited us down to Montgomery to be a part of her book club on 'Today in Alabama', so we flew down last week and had pretty much the best time ever. We ate our body weights in grits, and then after our book event, the incomparable John Heckman and his friend Patrick took us out to dinner and out on the town, and our night ended well past 3am, just the way we like it! There are so many hilarious stories we probably couldn't begin to write them all. Suffice it to say, we learned we're the first non-prostitutes to venture down Troy highway on foot in search of a grocery store or place to get some salads for lunch (hey, you can take the girls out of NYC...!)
The bottom line is, we can't wait to go back to talk about our next book.
Speaking of that, we're proud to officially annnounce the publication late next spring of the tenatively titled "Cocktail Therapy" by Simon and Schuster's Spotlight division. It's going to be a really funny (non-fiction) look at various crises we women deal with...with a nice cocktail to help get through each one. Lots of anecdotes, so it will be really entertaining. Our editor at S&S, Emily Westlake, is awesome--we had a drink (ok, a few drinks) to celebrate the deal, and basically didn't stop talking for hours.
Finally, Leanne has to give a big Thank You to her friends and family in Buffalo, NY. She kicked off her high school Nardin Academy's Alumni Association Distinguished Speakers Series with a speech on Oct. 26 in Ani Difranco's event space The Church. It was an absolutely incredible event and she was honored to be asked to do it. Lucy from Talking Leaves, Buffalo's incredible indie bookstore on Elmwood Avenue, came to sell books. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
More soon, we're really excited about everything....

first off i know that this is really random.
But i picked up your book, The Perfect Manhattan. And all i can say is wow. i couldnt put it down. i cought my self reading it at 100 pages at a time, and usually i hate to read. I just love the way cassie is. just the way she does things because its a lot like what i might be doing when i goto school in San Fransisco.
just thought i would give you some kudos on that. keep up the good work, and write more... so i can read more. :]
