Hi all - sorry for this loooong silence! It’s been a roller coaster summer. Three great weeks away in Spain (for my next book) and Provence, then on the first day home, I wrecked my car. (Jetlag anyone?) Just looked away for a split second and when I looked back, the traffic was dead stopped and I crashed into the person in front of me. Thankfully, her SUV was barely dented (I suppose it’s one reason people those monstrosities) but my poor Sebring convertible was toast. Completely crushed in front. I was a little stunned, but mostly fine - I thought. A week later, like clockwork (they say it often takes that long for symptoms to manifest) I came down with a hideous case of whiplash. For for five weeks now I’ve been seeing a chiropractor three times a week, and trying to (ha!) limit my time on the computer. It’s not working well; both my projects - the Litquake festival and a startup I’ve been consulting for - are coming to a head, with launch in just 5-6 weeks! Eeek! So the stress level is on orange alert around Chez Ganahl, I can tell you.

Other tidbits: the sitcom appears (knock wood) to be moving forward slowly. Contracts are out to a fabulous director and writer for the pilot. I go to LA in a couple weeks for more meetings.

The paperback of “Naked on the Page” is set to release on Feb. 1. And the new cover they’re contemplating is based on a photo of… me!! It’s a little odd to see; I feel like my ego is running amok here. But hey - I can always say it was their idea, which is true!

Last but not least, I have a new entry on Huffington Post today - a piece I wrote on spec for the New York Times’ Modern Love feature, but they never “bit.” So here it is! I hope my ex-husband forgives me…

More soon, I promise! Maybe I’ll figure out how to upload some photos and share a few from Europe!
