Read MoreBlog Tour: Third Time's the Charm?
Today I’m appearing on not one, not two, but three blogs. I’m not sure if I’m channeling the Count who Counts here– three! three blogs!– or Monty Python’s Search for the Holy Grail, in which not one blog shall you count, or two, but three. Anyway, all three feature brand new Q&As (with some rather…

Read MoreBook Tour: this time, it's virtual.
I’m on tour! Virtually, that is. For the next few weeks, I’ll be racketing about from blog to blog, with questions and guests posts and excerpts, oh my. Officially, this is an Ashford Affair tour, but I’d say about half of the questions so far have been about Pink, so it’s really a hybrid of…
