I’ve recently become a raving fan of author Katherine Center. She writes amazing essays and fiction books; a simple sentence can make my heart stop beating for a moment. Recently, Center took time out of her own busy schedule talk to me about her work: Angie: You first caught my attention when you posted the essay, “Nothing Worthwhile Is Ever Easy,” on […]
Plenty of surreal things have happened in my life. But I’m not sure I’ve ever quite felt anything like it feels to look at this: It’s my first novel, The Bright Side of Disaster, in Czech. It is indescribably bizarre to flip through a book that YOU wrote–and not be able to read a word. […]
I stumbled across this German cover for The Bright Side of Disaster this morning! At first, because of the cake, I thought it must be Everyone Is Beautiful.

Mieka Smiles, writer for the British paper The Journal, just gave the UK edition of Bright Side a terrific review! She writes: “Another chick lit book? Well, the answer is yes and no. The Bright Side of Disaster certainly nestles very well into that genre. But but rather than being just another one of a plethora […]
Kristjana, at the the Mommy Blog, just posted the sweetest blog entry about Everyone Is Beautiful. After writing about how she’s not posting as much since her new baby (look at that handome face!) came last summer, she said this: Fortunately, inspiration comes in unlikely packages. Though I have begged off the most recent slew […]
Just got word that there’s to be a Czech language version of Bright Side. Can’t wait to see the cover!
