July 17, A Reading in Rhinebeck, NY

I will be reading from the book and answering questions, laughing and enjoying the crowd of whoever can make it, Friday, July 17, 7:30pm at Oblong Books in Rhinebeck, NY -- please come! It will be fun.

Praise from Alphie McCourt

Alphie McCourt -- brother to Frank & Malachy McCourt and a most praiseworthy memoirist in his own right -- is the author of A LONG STONE'S THROW, a book that I deeply admire. I am honored that he read the book and had such a strong feeling for it. Thanks, Alphie!

"The book was easy to read, a ready disguise for all the complexity contained within its pages. You didn't go for the sensational revelation at the end, the Chinese food that is commonplace writing. Instead, you painted a complete picture and let us judge for ourselves. It is a fascinating portrait of guru, ashram and, most of all, of yourself. I coudn't wait to pick up the book and read more and I was sorry when it ended. You writing enriched my life."

THE PODCAST!

Thanks, Yarrow, for reminding me to post the podcast of the Leave It To Cleaver show we did a couple weeks ago. It's fun. Hope you enjoy it. I think the first 30 mins are skippable!

Review from April's Chronogram Magazine

Eat Pray Love from the opposite side of the sticky mat. Authentic Writing and Woodstock Memoir Festival co-founder Szabo launched this intimate account of her decade on staff at Gurumayi’s Siddha Yoga ashram online, drawing hundreds of passionate fans. Her just-published book, clear-sighted and true to the bone, should attract many more. -- Chronogram

BEST PLACE TO BUY THE BOOK!

I'm very happy that the book is available through the globally recognizable Amazon.com, of course, but you know what? If you purchase the book through LULU, I get a few bucks (I promise you not too many), whereas if you buy it through the big guys I get, literally, a few cents.
