I love writing the monthly enewsletters for Chronicle Books. Every month, I get a box full of fascinating books that really resonate with me. In April I wrote about the enigmatic designer Florence Broadhurst (who was mysteriously murdered in her home), pastry chef Emily Luchetti’s favorite recipes, and graphic artist Jeffrey Brown’s new book, Cat Getting Out of Bag

Written as an inspirational parable (in the style of The Alchemist or The Five People You Meet in Heaven), this is yet another title that you may be seeing on the NYT best-seller’s list soon. There’s buzz about this book from everyone from James Redfield to Publisher’s Weekly.

Finally! I’ve only been in business now for almost a year and am now officially launching my portfolio site. My excuse is that I have been so very busy with client work. Please hang with me while I work out the kinks.

I did an online feature for Mommy Track’d promoting the title, Milk Memos. This charming book was written by two women who returned to work at IBM only to face the bane of the working moms’ existence—the pumping room. This book is a great exploration on how to balance work and motherhood.

The site that I designed for this humorous, clever, and wise book that tackles the expectations/myths of modern motherhood just launched at www.iwasareallygoodmom.com. For obvious reasons, this was a project particularly close to my heart. The authors are going to be all over the media—you can find them on The Today Show, Rachael Ray’s show, and Shape magazine.

This site was to support the NRSV, or the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible. Published by HarperCollins San Francisco, this revised translation was prepared by the National Council of Churches. with the goal of updating the Bible for a contemporary audience. This is widely accepted as the most ecumenical of all Bible translations.
