For the Love of Girlfriends

October 14, 2008 – 9:19 am

Funny where girlfriends are found. Neighbors, fellow volunteers, women who share hobbies, in the grocery store … there are countless places to find new friends. And that’s a great thing! I’ve met lots of girlfriends through Twitter and social media groups/sites. One I met recently, Mary, gets the girlfriend thing Read More »

Who Needs Girlfriends Anyway?

October 7, 2008 – 8:41 am

Girlfriends tell me their stories. In line at the grocery store, at parties, in emails and any chance they get. In general, women love to share about the fabulous friend(s) who bless their life and how they’ve been there for each other through every type of situation and how much they need their girlfriends. But what about those who don’t? Read More »

Girlfriendology video interview with PAULA YOO, author of "Good Enough"

May 24, 2008 – 5:37 pm

At first I thought, a ‘young adult’ novel. I don’t need to read that. Then I opened it up and became enthralled with Patti Yoon, the high schooler, daughter of immigrants and overachiever who longs to fit in and strives to stand out.

The first novel by PAULA YOO, “Good Enough” is a charmer. From her first big crush to the funny antics of her church group, she becomes a fun character to watch over as she survives high school and the pressure to attend an ivy league school.

Paula’s pretty much a charmer too. She has a great smile and plays amazing violin. She is friendly and easy going. You can tell in the video interview, that she enjoyed writing about Patti and that you’ll equally enjoy reading “Good Enough.” Watch the Girlfriendology interview with Paula:

THANKS Paula - for your time, for playing the violin over and over again in the Joseph-Beth store (Thanks to them too!). Thanks to Greg & Greg of www.callgregcreative.com. And, THANKS to you for reading Girlfriendology!

Girlfriend Interview with PAULA YOO, author of "Good Enough"

May 13, 2008 – 1:46 am

Maybe it is my denial of my real age, but I fell in love with the new teen novel, GOOD ENOUGH, by Paula Yoo. Her main character, Patti, is an overachiever who longs to fit in and strives to stand out. Funny, touching, sweet and silly, we can all relate to Patti and her life (even if high school was a few decades ago!).

I had the honor of doing a video interview with Paula last night at Joseph-Beth Booksellers on her national book tour. The video will be up in the coming week (a little grace time for my editors!), so come back and view the energy, music and humor of this fun author! Thanks Paula! (And check out GOOD ENOUGH!)
