I did an interview with the Louisville Courier-Journal that’s going to run tomorrow (Sunday.)  Since so many newspapers put their content online in advance, I ventured to the internets to see if I could get a preview.

A preview was indeed what I got, as in a teaser that did not give the full story, so now I am very curious!  I get the sense it will be positive (features usually are), but there’s still that lingering wonder of, “What did I say that they will and won’t use?  Will they emphasize something I said that was totally uninformed/dorky/not really representative of me, even though I said it?”  What direction do you think this will go in?

Author Jessica Leader has gone where few adults dare: back to seventh grade. If diving into the emotional lives of 13-year-old girls sounds as dangerous as swimming with sharks, Leader is living proof that you can go home again and emerge unscathed.

I’m wondering if it will show that even if the characters in Nice and Mean are, by turns, catty, manipulative, insecure and over-dramatic (and creative and resourceful and resilient, of course)–their creator, moi, is mature, thoughtful, poised, the possessor of excellently polished toenails, &c &c.  So I can’t wait to read it.

I am sure it will mention my toenails.
