Sarah Tomlinson: Blog

How did I spend my summer vacation? Writing a book with MySpace superstar and reality TV survivor Tila Tequila, of course. And the fruits of her labor (I helped a little), "Hooking Up with Tila Tequila," was published yesterday. By Scribner. I'm in the Library of Congress now. For real. You can buy it on Amazon or at your local independent bookseller (even better!) and dig into all of Tila's secrets. Seriously, she taught me how to flirt, and she is good! Be warned, it's a little, um, spicy (my mom will not be stocking it at the Bremen Public Library), but Tila has a great story and some really interesting thoughts on gender relations and pop culture and, yes, SEX. It's been a dark week in publishing, so any dollars you can throw at the declining empire would be appreciated. (I've still got a novel to get into print, and there needs to be some publishing houses left in order to do that). Plus, it would make a great holiday gift for your grandma, rabbi, prison pen pal, or, well, anyone. And, finally, Tila was truly a pleasure to work with, and she inspired me on a lot of levels with the courage it took her to get where she is today, so you should support her for that reason, if no other. See a shout out Tila gave me during an interview here:

I know the blog has been dark for about a year now. But I'm bringing it back, so check in regularly for reports on the latest and greatest concerts I've attended (Ray Lamontagne guesting with my friend Lucinda Williams on her song "Fruits of My Labor" in Boston in October = pure joy), news on my next project (there's some juicy stuff in the works), and updates on my ongoing efforts to find a publisher for my first novel (yes, THAT one, the 8+ year-odyssey), Because the Night. When it happens, oh, you'll know...
