Playing Catch Up

Whew. What a week. I met my publisher for the first time face to face last weekend. We had a fantastic time hanging out at the Jersey Shore. Then on Saturday, at the Blast at the Beach softball tournament book signing in Salisbury, Maryland, we sold and signed our entire box of SCREWBALL books in two hours. Yay! Check out my shiny forehead in the picture. Hence, the mean nickname turtle wax. For some unknown reason, my forehead reflects more sun then a mirror. :) We rode the Lewes ferry from New Jersey to Delaware, watched some sensational softball, and met a ton of fastpitch players, parents, and fans. Thanks Salisbury! 

Lance Armstrong's LiveStrong website launched last week. I was 
lucky enough to contribute some articles for this great site. Check it out here. Also, I'm over at Pretty Tough today blogging about seven ways to beat the heat this softball season. 

Finally, I read one of the best biographies ever last week. In fact, I finished it in one night. Tito Ortiz's THIS IS GONNA HURT. While some biographies are over edited, this book was written in Tito's voice and it was extremely raw and honest. Okay, I admit it, I'm a bit infatuated with wrestling and MMA. 

A couple days later, I received Jessica Brody's FIDELITY FILES for my South Jersey Mom column. And I'm loving this one too. I'm in the midst of reading a streak of great books. :) What are you reading? Have you picked up a book that you can't put down lately? Have a great day!
