Book party report
The Miss Abigail book launch party, which was held at the Warehouse Gallery on Tuesday, April 11, was a smashing success if I do say so myself! Much fun was had by all. Thanks to Olsson’s Books and Records who showed up to sell copies (thanks!) of Miss Abigail’s Guide to Dating, Mating and Marriage. […]

Sex Habits of American Women
This afternoon I caught a matinee production of The Sex Habits of American Women at the Signature Theater in Arlington, VA. The set design was fantastic and the costumes were fabulously 1950. The play was entertaining enough; I’m no theater critic so won’t go on and on. I’m a book girl! So I ran home […]
Tacky and Proud of It!
Check out Julie’s Tacky Treasures for a great review of Miss Abigail’s Guide to Dating, Mating, and Marriage. And while we’re talking Tacky Treasures, if you haven’t checked out Julie’s Web site before, you absolutely must pay it a visit. The whole site is great, but I must point you to some favorites of mine: […]
This Book Thing Runs in the Family
Congrats to my mom, Linda Salisbury, and her book The Wild Women of Lake Anna, for being named a finalist in the Juvenile Fiction category of ForeWord Magazine’s Book of the Year Award! She’ll find out in May if she’s a winner. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Mom’s published two books so far, perfect for […]
Takoma Gazette and iBrattleboro Write-Ups
I live in Takoma Park, Maryland (just outside of Washington, D.C.), and today, one of the regional papers, the Gazette’s Takoma edition wrote a nice piece on me and the book — the first in print (that I know of). Check out the electronic version here. I must also mention a lovely review of the […]
Singles – you are not alone!
Over the years, Miss Abigail has focused a lot on advice and topics for those hopelessly or happily single, so it will be no surprise that my new book has a lot of excerpts from the classic advice books for the not-currently-dating. There are a few chapters to get you going: “Becoming Dateable” and “I […]
Media Blitz (hopefully!)
I’m getting excited! I received my first copies of Miss Abigail’s Guide to Dating, Mating, and Marriage recently and it looks great, if I do say so myself! Hats off to everyone at Thunder’s Mouth for pulling it all together. You readers should be able to have it in your hands sometime in March or […]
Prelinger Archives
My old iPod mini (in pink, of course) started to go this month, so I splurged and got myself a new iPod – the one that can handle videos. In addition to downloading a few clips from iTunes, I wandered over to the Internet Archive to see if I could download some of the Prelinger […]
