friends,

are you a mom?
an artist?
a liar?

or do you just want a book pick for those long indian summer nights?

either way, check out my new novel, Live a Little, just out from 5
spot/grand central. it delves into the themes above, among others.

you'll find it in the usual online and real-world places, including:
http://www.amazon.com/Live-Little-Kim-Green/dp/0446697931/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF\
8&s=books&qid=1218728833&sr=8-1
http://www.indiebound.org/

i will be doing a handful of readings and events in the SF bay area in
the next few months. you'll find all of them on my site/blog
(currently same) as they are scheduled:

http://www.kimgreen.com

i'd love to see you there...especially at my book launch party -- not
yet scheduled -- at which i will be "casting" the characters in the
book (winners will get a prize...hopefully not too lame...plus a free
glass of rotgut. how can you resist?).

hope you are all doing well, and thanks for all the support over the
years. please feel free to forward to interested parties looking for
some -- i'll paraphrase Publisher's Weekly -- "witty, acerbic fiction
in service to an unlikeable character."

if you're on my list, you're probably an opinionated SOB, so i'll let
you decide for yourself if my protagonist, raquel rose, is likeable or
not. <grin>.

best,
kim
