Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 317

I am still recovering from last night’s book launch party which I think is safe to say was a rousing success! Once I am able to go through all the photos and take some deep breaths, I’ll give a full run down on the festivities.

In the meantime, Lisa Napoli over at KCRW (one of our local NPR affiliates) put together this wonderful piece. Those of you who have been following this blog for the last couple of years know that the bulk of the Ann Dvorak book was written during my commute to work on the subway. I am so pleased Lisa found this aspect of the Ann Dvorak story interesting and I hope it will inspire others struggling writers to get creative with their time.

This coming Sunday & Monday (11/17 & 11/18), I will be heading over to the Silver Screen Oasis discussion board to answer questions about Ann Dvorak, book research, Los Angeles history, and anything else you might have in mind. Be sure to stop by so I’m not lonely!
