I write funny-smart stories about things that matter, creating fictional cities abounding in magical landmarks, pop songs and love stories tinged with light and mystery. In my other lives, I write copy and am a voice-over talent for cable nets and entertainment enterprises. You can hear me daily on Lifetime Television and on Fine Living, narrating their What Makes it Tick? series.
I love Laurie Colwin above and beyond all; also Jonathan Santlofer, Carl Hiaassen, Janet Evanovich, TC Boyle, George Saunders, Italo Calvino and tons of others. Am always game to read someone new!
Movies And TV Shows I Like:
A friend just turned me on to the joys of Canada's Slings and Arrows. I also possess an old-school fixation on American Idol (the American Dream of it, not the icky parts of it) and am finding myself drawn to Technicolor French-set musicals, from Umbrellas of Cherbourg to Gigi; ditto, Rear Window, which is neither and yet? Kinda both.
...crimes of fashion and spring passion -- ah, the fun puns of a sunny Mon-day! I love that you're a copywriter, too -- it's so great to meet another copy-trix and author. Looks like I just missed your signing, but lk fwd to your next. btw, do you know Mary Reagan?
Wow! You are way cool! Thanks for bringing the light fantastic with you; it's a great fashion accessory. If you need a scientist to answer an occasional geek question, I'd be happy to be your friend. I have to find some of your written words to read! I think I'll start with I'm With Cupid.
Sharon quipped in a chatter box:
> Your note is the latest in a series of CUPID kismets... I walked past a group of black-tie clad folks standing on the steps of NYC's Puck Building. Intrigued, I asked what they were doing.
"It's a wedding!" said a puckish looking man. "Wanna dance"
Seconsd later, I found myself dancing (in a jean skirt) at a stranger's black tie wedding.
"My name is Jimmy Love," my cupid said as we danced.
Any chance you have NYC relatives who invite strangers to dance? :)
He's probably a distant cousin. His behavior confirms it. Love DNA lacks the shyness gene. Most American Loves are part of the Scottish Clan McKinnon, "You can always tell a Scott, but you can't tell him much." The McKinnons are even more so. Loves are well known to grab a lass for a dance whenever possible. We are also known for looking good in kilts. Quite regimental, the lot.
Love men are known to have a weakness for redheads. My several lifetimes partner Nance is a redhead. From a wee lad, my dad used to tell me "Beware of redheads with black underwear." It wasn't until I was a teen that I asked "How am I supposed to tell what color underwear she's wearing?"
After a decade of prepping the joke, dad finally got to tell the punch line. "By the time you know, it's too late!"
I hope cupid finds your happy spot and sets you free! It must have been a sight to see, you in a jean-skirt, and him in a tux, dancing outside the Puck building. That is definitely a Love story.
