THE EVENING COUNTDOWN (or shall I say CAKE-DOWN?) CONTINUES!!!

Only 18 more days until "The Signature of All Things is Published!"

A very powerful number, 18. In my country, if you are 18 you are a legal adult. Which means that my book/cake countdown is now officially a legal adult!

Can't wait, you guys.

Can't wait.

When you're done with the cake, you can pre-order the novel here:

A REALLY COOL CONTEST FROM ENGLAND…open to readers worldwide!

Hi guys — I just wanted to share this bit of loveliness with you. My British publisher, Bloomsbury, is running a unique giveaway contest on their Facebook page. Fans of "Eat Pray Love" can choose their favo(u)rite line from that book (like my adaptation of the British spelling there?) from the quotes they have selected here. Just LIKE the quote you enjoy the most, and there will be a random drawing after Midnight this Monday of all the likes. If you win, Bloomsbury will send you a signed (by me!) copy of one of the GORGEOUS vintage orchid prints which decorate the end-pages of my new novel! Super pretty, super lovely, super botanically delicious…

And they will ship it anywhere in the world, my dears, so don't be afraid to join in the games wherever you may reside!

So open the link below, and make your choice.

And of course, if you want to pre-order the book, you may do so right here:

Here'a a lovely essay from today's LA TImes by my dear friend Rayya Elias (author of "Harley Loco"!) reflecting on her own time in prison, and how it compares to the new TV show "Orange is the New Black".

Really thoughtful and touching stuff here…

And may I just ask — have you all read the original memoir "Orange is the New Black", upon which the show is based? I would so strongly encourage it. It's such a powerful, self-examining, devastating and ultimately uplifting story. I read it years ago when it was first published, and gave Piper a glowing review. She's an amazing woman, who has become a mighty advocate for women in the American prison population. It's a honor to know her, and I'm glad to see her getting attention these days. I'm curious to find out if folks are finding their way back to her book through the show?

"What do you think of ' Orange Is the New Black ?'" Since Netflix 's series about life in a women's prison premiered this summer, I've fielded the same question from almost everyone I know.
