Oh, lordy

It may become a film, too:

Film rights to Doug Brown's JUST DO IT: How One Couple Screwed Their Life and Love Back Together, about the author's relationship-invigorating experiment to have sex with his wife for 101 consecutive days, optioned to 20th Century Fox, by Kassie Evashevski at UTA, on behalf of Daniel Lazar at Writers House.

Yike.

On another note, I got two nice e-mails about Carrie Pilby last week, within a day of each other, after I hadn't gotten any in a while; I get them when school is out and people are reading again...

Caren, Check out the comments on this blog post from Laura Lippman's website: http://www.journalscape.com/LauraLippman/2007-05-18-13:42 Bryon Q. "As the resident adolescent boy here, I feel it's my duty to hold up all that is great and wonderful about Catcher in the Rye. I do feel that's it's an entirely voice and character driven novel and that if that voice and character don't speak to you, then it ain't gonna work for you. But toward what Dusty said, I guess maybe because I am a drama queen it all works for me. Anyone looking for a female version of Catcher (with less drama and whining) should look up Carrie Pilby by Caren Lissner. I pimp this book at any chance I'm given and it's a close second to Catcher as my favorite book." His logic makes a lot of sense to me. I didn't read CATCHER until college and didn't see what the big deal was. But I certainly identified with and loved CARRIE PILBY. And congrats on the engagement!

And

Hi Caren-
So technically I'm not done reading Carrie Pilby just yet. Nonetheless, I have really enjoyed what I have read so far and got on Amazon.com to check out other books of yours. Always planning ahead...I guess that's the lawyer in me. Don't worry, I'm not "that kind" of lawyer. I actually had court today and wore socks that had Dots candy all over them. It's my little rebellion against becoming a stereotypical lawyer. So far it's working.
I hope this message finds you well and I look forward to reading more of your work. Your post on Amazon mentioned that you had a blog. I would love to get a link to it if possible.
Thanks for writing and doing what you do! Have a great day.
Sincerely,
L.
