This Book Is So Punk Rock

Micol Ostow is one busy author. When she's not writing the next Bradford novel or creating amazing online content, she writes amazing stand alone books like SO PUNK ROCK (And Other Ways to Disappoint Your Mother), a hybrid prose/graphic novel published by Flux that she created with her brother, illustrator David Ostow. It goes on sale today, so if you like Micol's other books, pick it up at your local bookstore or order it online.

Micol has really gotten the hang of this multi-platform stuff—SO PUNK ROCK's characters come to life in much the same way as the Bradfordians. Check out Ari and Reena's Twitter accounts and The Tribe's My Space page.

Check out the trailer, here:

And let us know what you think about Micol and David's new book!

Notes from the Underground

As FlirtyLiz has intimated, I've been squirreled away working on the third installment of Bradford, which is tons of fun, especially since it's very Hollywood and pop culture-centric.
I haven't had much chance to come up for air, but I thought you might appreciate a short list of recent Google searches I've done in service of your fine book series:

1. M Night Shymalan
2. Tarte Cheek Stain
2. Lotta Stensson
3. Dolce and Gabbana (I really should know how to spell this by now)
4. Apothecary Bar, Philadelphia
5. Golden Bridge Yoga, LA
6. Ryder Jared
7. Soiree
8. microdermabrasion
9. Jimmy Choo
10. Martin Scorsese

Liz would be impressed to learn that despite all of this web-based "research," I have resisted the siren song of Internet shopping.

Back to work, people!

MWAH!
