Laurie and her husband Paul made this very funny trailer for her second novel, Goodbye For Now. And she wrote this piece for the New York Times' Modern Love column if you want to know more about her family.

​Here's an episode of Book Lust with Nancy Pearl starring the inimitable -- you guessed it -- Nancy Pearl. And me! I haven't watched it because there are two kinds of people in this world: the kind who think it would be awesome to watch themselves on TV and the kind who think it would be torture to watch themselves on TV. I am so the latter. But you should watch. Nancy and I had a lovely chat about writing, reading, teaching, books, and even some things that had nothing to do with any of that.
