I'll be performing a 10-minute act of standup comedy intro to me and my writing, plus reading from one of my novels. If you're tired of beach reading, I have another interview, a conversation about Pride/Prejudice with radio commentator Samuel Claiborne. (See the first link at the top of the column). Listen to the mp3 of my interview about P/P with Lara Zielinsky on her radio show, Readings in Lesbian and Bisexual Women's Fiction Check out my recently redone microsite at HarperCollins. I think they did a lovely job. There are two new items of interest to readers of Pride/Prejudice: a Q&A essay, and a Reading Guide. I've put the link at the top of this column, and it's also in the Quick Links. Watch the terrific trailer that gifted filmmaker M. Antonio Olmos made for Pride/Prejudice.

Biography A native New Yorker and lifelong resident of Brooklyn, Ann Herendeen has worked as a researcher for an urban planning consultant; an advertising media planner; a public and academic business reference librarian; a trademarks monitor for an intellectual property law firm; and a cataloging librarian specializing in natural history. Ann is a graduate of Princeton University, where she majored in English while maintaining a strong interest in English history. She enjoys reading—and writing—for escape. With Phyllida and the Brotherhood of Philander, Ann has put a new twist on a traditional form, creating the ultimate love story she always wanted to read: a bisexual (m/m/f) historical romance. "She was present all the time, except when she went out to fetch liquors. The company talked all manner of gross and vile obscenity in her hearing, and she appeared to be wonderfully pleased with it"--testimony of an informant at the trial of Margaret (Mother) Clap, accused of running a "molly house" (gay bar) in London in 1726. |
