Donna Tartt, author of The Secret History and The Little Friend, is one of the most talented (and elusive) novelists of our time. As she prepares to celebrate her birthday on December 23rd, read my tribute over at For Books’ Sake.

The Mmm Girl, my novel about the life of Marilyn Monroe (as she might have told it herself), will celebrate her fifth birthday on November 30th. If you don’t have a copy already, it might be the ideal Christmas present for yourself or someone you love.
As my current publisher will sadly be closing in January 2013, this will also be your last chance to get your hands on a first edition paperback. However, I am currently in talks with another publisher and hope to bring out a digital edition next year.

≈ Comments Off on Schiller Review Goes to Print
My review of Lawrence Schiller’s Marilyn & Me: A Memoir in Words and Photographs has been published in Issue 25 of the Mad About Marilyn fanzine, which also includes an in-depth profile of photographer Earl Thiesen and ‘I Dress for Men’, an article penned by Marilyn herself in 1953.
