Countdown to
12/24/04
4 days (and counting to Hot Target, in stores on December 28th)
Happy Christmas Eve!
Note
from Suz: It's photo day, starting with this picture of
Eric (my best bud from high school) and me, taken during the run of ONCE UPON A MATTRESS, last spring.
(Eric played the king, I was in the ensemble.)
Here's
a photo from the FLASHPOINT tour -- taken at a wonderful bookstore, The Book
Place, in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. I did a lunchtime signing here that was
tremendously well-attended!
If
you look closely, you can see my husband Ed and me standing on the deck of a mock
aircraft carrier in the Naval Air Station Museum in Pensacola, Florida.
This was the kickoff to our FLASHPOINT tour, and we had only about 45 minutes to
spend at this wonderful museum. We walked in, and I wanted to cry because
it was so obviously a place where I could've spent hours and hours and hours and
hours...
Whenever
possible, I always try to arrive early at my scheduled booksignings. I
love having a chance to sit and talk to readers who show up early,
too!
Gay 101: Tolerance is a Fabulous Value!
Recommended viewings available on DVD:
Kiss me Guido
Directed by Tony Vitale
1996, comedy
Description: Frankie Zito, an Italian-American working in a Bronx pizza
parlour, yearns to be an actor. Catching his girlfriend and his brother
inflagrante delicto on the kitchen table is the last straw for Frankie, and he
moves out. Assuming that the abbreviation GWM in a classified ad means
"Guy With Money," the naive but hunky Frankie soon finds himself
sharing a Manhattan apartment with Warren, a gay actor and choreographer.
(Description from the Melbourne Queer Film Festival)
Kissing Jessica Stein
Directed by Charles Herman-Wurmfeld
2001, comedy
Description: Jessica is a sensitive but neurotic New York journalist who's
fed up with the dating life. One day, she happens to read an intriguing
personal ad, but it's in the "woman seeking woman" section. On a
daring whim, she answers the ad, and meets funky downtown hipster Helen for
drinks. To Jessica's shock, they click instantly, and a first kiss leads
to an earnest, hilarious, muddling courtship.
That's all for now! Merry Christmas to all my readers and friends who celebrate this holiday! I hope everyone has a nice weekend -- see you on Monday for the next-to-last installment in the Countdown to HOT TARGET.
