Electrolicious

Things have gotten unexpectedly insane in these parts. This Friday weekend I’m flying to New York. Next Tuesday (Feb. 19th) Wednesday (2/20) I’m scheduled to appear on the Today Show, first in a taped segment about that SoulTech workshop I went to last month, then in a live segment (!?) about how 52 Nights Unplugged […]

Last spring, in the middle of my Offbeat Bride book tour, I was struck by an idea for my second book. It was an awesome idea. My agent was excited about it. I was passionate about it.
I wrote up the first section of a book proposal, and then dove into writing the introduction and […]

This post is essentially a white paper about my Offbeat side project, which includes my book Offbeat Bride: Taffeta-Free Alternatives for Independent Brides and offbeatbride.com. It’s quite long and may only be interesting to marketers, authors, business bloggers, social media obsessives, etc. […]

Here are […]

I realize that most of you don’t read it, but I just have to note that my other blog, offbeatbride.com, has now eclipsed Electrolicious in terms of monthly traffic. One site’s been around for 7 years, the other for 7 months. Weird!

Anastasia summarizes many of the lessons I’ve learned with my first book. Points 1 and 4 are key.

When I was in Vancouver a few weeks ago, I did an appearance on Urban Rush, a local magazine show. I think it’s the best Offbeat interview yet — especially since one of the hosts started muttering about shrooms at one point. WTF?

My final book tour event is next Saturday in […]

Canada was fabulous, my friends. Despite getting grief at the border both ways (car searches: not just for stoners any more!), my time in Canada was pure magic. I stayed with my old friend Jolayne (shown here a few years back), who talks just as fast as I do, resulting in lightning speed chattering! Try […]
