LATEST NEWS
from The Smartmouth Goddess

HERE'S THE LATEST NEWS FROM A BROAD...

UP NEXT: Susan Jane Gilman's next book, a Diary of a SmartMouth Goddess, is slated to be published by Warner Books in 2004. Its "fabulous nonfiction tales" humorously chronicle childhood dreams, coming of age, and a single girl's adventures beyond the trials and tribulations of hunting for a man. The stories -- which range from being forced to study Transcendental Meditation as a kid...to following the Rolling Stones around during puberty...to attending an S&M conference at a Howard Johnson's Motor Inn Lodge, show there's far more to laugh about in our lives than bad dates.

SWISS MS.: For the next year or so, the SmartMouth Goddess will be at work on this next book in the decidely neutral and un-smartmouthy country of Switzerland (it's a long story...but funny in itself, no?) If she can pull herself away from the chocolate long enough, the "Swiss Ms." will file occasional updates from somewhere in the Alps...

RAVIN'IN ASIA: "Kiss My Tiara" has been sold to publishers in both Japan and Korea. Foreign versions should see print sometime in 2003. Should be interesting to see how words like "pootie" translate...

IRONY SUPPLEMENT: Closer to home, Susan Jane Gilman and "Kiss My Tiara" get mentioned in the June 2002 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine in an article about cultivating one's inner goddess. Funny, because "Kiss My Tiara" actually suggests "girlcotting" women's magazines...Ah, well, it's an interesting and contradictory world!

THANKS FOR PLAYING AND STAY TUNED...
