Literary Mama Meets W[h]ine Night
We are so fortunate to have so many well-read and well-written mamas amongst us. Here's what Shari has to say:
I don't know how I got so lucky (pinch me--no, don't--two of my kids are vomiting today, so I'm suffering enough), but I have the privilege of being the new Creative Non-Fiction editorial assistant for Literary Mama (www.literarymama.com) and have an essay in the upcoming anthology, "It's a Girl", edited by the brilliant Andrea Buchanan. There will be some local MotherTalk events and bookstore readings in conjunction with the book's upcoming release and I'm collecting the email addresses of women who would like to receive an Evite to these events. So drop me an email or leave a comment here! (We'll be planning events in Seattle, too, so if you have friends up north who want to receive an Evite, have them contact me with their email addresses and ask them to specify "Seattle.")
I hope to see lots of UrbanMamas at the readings and MotherTalks (dates and locations to be announced--more shall be revealed). We are fortunate to have some amazing local contributors who you won't want to miss--and, anyway, who couldn't use another excuse to get out of the house, talk with other mamas, drink wine, and--did I mention TALK? Check out the MotherTalk blog site (http://mothertalk.blogspot.com/) for more insights on what it's all about.
I'd be delighted to be e-vited.

I'd be particularly interested in any "It's A Boy" sessions or "Raising Cain" discussions being the mother of two boys. Anyone else?

Thanks, ladies! And thanks to all who emailed me. (Mrs. Flinger, could you contact me directly? I couldn't find your email address on your site.) Keep those email addresses coming!
Hau brings up a great point--there are lots of great topics to discuss other than raising girls (even if the release of "It's a Girl" helps provide the opportunity to plan our next MotherTalk), and I for one would love to have a boy discussion as well. If there's sufficient interest (and enough volunteers for hosting, etc.), we may be able to hold a regular, monthly MotherTalk event. So keep that list of discussion topics handy and let's discuss!

Add me, add me! And, I'd love a chat about "It's a Girl" or a variety of other topics. Do you usually meet at a home? If not, there's a bookstore that I'm sure would be interested in hosting: http://www.inotherwords.org/NASApp/store/IndexJsp
