It’s harvest season for authors in Bernal Heights, with lots of fresh, locally-grown books shipping to markets from coast to coast. Neighbor Blaine tells us she a new book out too, and she’s having a little event tonight to celebrate. Bonus: You’re invited!

Like Neighbor Nathanael, I, too, have a book. 🙂 It’s called On Being a Bachelor: Thoughts on Dating, Mating and Relating, and although it’s not quite as Bernal-y as his, it’s very well-suited for Valentine’s Day. It’s a collection of my best and funniest newspaper columns from a weekly in Atlanta, where my now-husband, Neighbor Chris (whom I met while writing those columns) lived before we were Bernal-bound. Here’s a link and some more info.

This Friday marks my West Coast literary debut (!) with a signing at Jurlique Spa, on Fillmore Street, with free wine and snacks. Details below:
