Current Events

May 3, Houston: The big one -- the Inprint reading -- occurs at the Alley Theatre on Monday, May 3. Do not miss it or you'll be sorry. I'm not kidding -- I'm going to say the craziest, most intellectual yet hilarious stuff I can think of, and I'll be sharing the stage with the ultra sexy Oscar Casares, too.

June 24, Houston: I'm one of the peeps scheduled to read at Poison Pen, at Houston's famous Poison Girl bar. Besides me, everyone there will be ultra, *super* sexy. Come see me and drink!

June 26, Washington, DC: I'll be reading at the American Library Association conference. Come on down.

My other blog: Go read my the Houston Chronicle parenting blog (or my ChronMomBlog, as I like to call it) and make sure my kids won't resent me more than other kids resent their own parents.

Buy my new novel, Lone Star Legend. Already did? Well, buy a few more for your friends, then. :)

real quick - Adriana H

Adriana H: I do remember you, because I always remember that day we were on the parking-garage shuttle bus together. You pointed out the window at a woman walking down the sidewalk and said something like "I like that woman's bag."

She immediately stumbled over nothing and almost fell.

You gasped and said, "Oh, no! I always give people the ojo!"

I thought that was so funny and sad at the same time, because it was obvious that you had given her the ojo.

But, at the same time, I knew you were a nice person and therefore would never use your power for evil, if you could help it.

:)

I'm glad you commented, so I could tell you that.

real quick - Robert S

Robert S: I didn't get to talk to you long after the lunch thing on Thursday. But I wanted to tell you that I listened to your story and thought you were very brave to tell it - braver than I ever get.

Hi Gwen - I still give people ojo ALL the time, (unintentionally of course) my gringo husband now believes in it! Adriana :-)
