"The 26 vivid photographic portraits and accompanying narratives display the author's humor, grace and a brilliantly creative eye. Carlip's alter egos are larger than life and twice as entertaining... A hilarious, delightful, unique achievement." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

   

5/13/08 :: I KNOW IT'S BEEN AWHILE... But I've been so freakin' busy touring, doing interviews, and trying to MAKE news, that I've had no time to REPORT news! But LOTS going on! Wanna see a fun-filled video clip?

Here's a clip of me taking a Wall Street Journal reporter grocery shopping!

And there's a radio interview I did on TRAILER TALK, a KILLER show that's taped in (and sometimes airs live from) A VINTAGE TRAILER! The fabulous host/creator Sabrina Artel, drove to my Barnes and Noble reading in New York, and she interviewed me and some other fab peeps who happened to pop into the trailer to talk about A la Cart!

GO LISTEN!
