I’m back after a week-long celebratory Pop-Tart binge following the announcement that I’m one of the LA Times Faces to Watch 2012. Todd Zuniga and Shalom Auslander also made the books page.
Thanks so much to Carolyn Kellogg for the kind words inside. I’ve just been bowled over by the kindness I’ve seen in this city. From the lady who did my smog inspection, to new friends who are already becoming good friends, to my building manager, to the guy who walks his weird fat dog down my street at night, I’ve had such a warm welcome here and I’m so grateful.
More good news for the New Year: I’m also on Flavorpill’s Most Anticipated Books of 2012 list, along with Adam Levin and Shane Jones. Great work, everyone!
