\"This<\/a>

Sumo lives!<\/p><\/div>\n

First off, yesterday my husband mentioned that he prefers “not big” hair. He couldn’t be serious, could he? Come on. Big hair is the best! I’m choosing to ignore the comment.<\/p>\n

And now….<\/p>\n

A year ago this week, BIG IN JAPAN <\/a>hit the shelves. I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s been a whole year. What a fun time!<\/p>\n

\"I<\/a>

I can’t believe it was a year ago I was sharing a table with Dale Critchlow, aka “Lyle” from Napoleon Dynamite, at my first book signing.<\/p><\/div>\n

So, in celebration, Jolly Fish Press <\/a>has offered the eBook of BIG IN JAPAN at a special price\u2014just $2.99! Just in time for a final trip to the beach before the summer of 2013 takes its final bow.<\/p>\n

Here are links for the on-sale book on Amazon<\/a>, Barnes and Noble<\/a>. (And if you have some other e-reader, check there too. I think it\u2019s everywhere.)<\/p>\n

In addition, I want to throw in a PRIZE PACKAGE<\/strong> of my own. One lucky winner will receive a copy of both BIG IN JAPAN <\/a>and my older release DELICIOUS CONVERSATION <\/a>(it\u2019s a chick book, guys.) If you\u2019ve already read them, regift. <\/i>(It\u2019s the American way.)<\/p>\n

\"Get<\/a>

Get this…<\/p><\/div>\n
