The Pulpwood Queen has written a book, and a mighty fine one at that. It's a sparkledy goulash: two-parts big-hair memoir, one-part sexy lit professor reading list, and three-parts ruby slipper magic. My prediction is it'll hit the NYTime's Bestseller List this year.
If you don't know Kathy Patrick, you should. She's not just HRM of the most bodacious book club in the world and a kick ass author in her own right, she's a beacon of hope in the pop culture darkness. She is the great champion of literacy, the duchess of up-and-coming authors, the patron saint of beauty parlors, and a friend to all, great and small, permed or bald.
Kathy Patrick founded the Pulpwood Queens in 2000 to bring women
together around the
magic of books. What Kathy and the Pulpwood Queens have accomplished from their little Beauty and the Book Salon in Jefferson, Texas is astonishing.
In fact, this weekend is their annual Girlfriend's Weekend and the astonishment will be unleashed at full throttle.
Su
permodel turned novelist, Paulina Porizkova will be there pumping her book, Model Summer. (Maybe even with Rick Ocasek in tow.) Along with throngs of other authors like the amazing Darnell Arnoult, the GalleyCat himself, Ron Hogan, the indomitable Debbie
Rodriguez of
"Kabul Beauty School", Adrienne Barbeau, and many, many more fascinating authors and celebrities.
I'll be in Jefferson this weekend as one of the authors featured at Girlfriend's Weekend as well. And I'll be moblogging to help capture the crazy brilliance and irresistible charm of the Pulpwood Queens
