DRIVE-THRU INTERVIEW, AND SWALLOW MAKES LEGAL THRILLER BEST-SELLER LIST ON AMAZON
July 25, 2010 · Posted by Swan Lake Samba Girl ·
Today I have a short, “drive-thru” interview on fabulously wonderful indie author Jenna Elizabeth Johnson’s blog, Hello Kruel, Kruel World.
I met Ms. Johnson on the Kindleboards, where I’ve connected with a number of really kind and supportive indie authors. I joined Kindleboards after hugely successful indie-turned-traditionally published author, J.A. Konrath, suggested the site as an excellent way to connect with other authors and readers of Kindle books.
It seems to have worked in my favor sales-wise as well because last week, due largely I’m sure to my reducing the price of my Kindle book to 99 cents (for at least the ...

SWALLOW ON CRYSTAL REVIEWS
July 1, 2010 · Posted by Swan Lake Samba Girl ·
Swallow has received another positive blog review
I was out at ABT last night (Sascha Radetsky and Hee Seo’s Thais Pas de Deux is, I think, the most beautiful thing I’ve seen all season. I’d seen them in rehearsal and it was well worth waiting for, and I enjoyed this cast of The Dream – David Hallberg as Oberon, Gillian Murphy as Titania and Herman Cornejo as Puck – much better than the first, and Maria Riccetto for the first time really caught my eye in both The Dream and Ashton’s Birthday Offering – she was really lovely).
Anyway, I ...

JUDGE PRESSLER HAS DIED
February 18, 2010 · Posted by Swan Lake Samba Girl ·
Oh, I’m so sad. The judge I clerked for following law school, Sylvia Pressler, just died. She was only 75 and had only retired a few years earlier. Of course, she worked until the last possible moment a judge could until mandatory retirement under New Jersey law.
She was head of the Appellate Division (New Jersey’s intermediate appeals court), and had a reputation for being very intelligent, very formidable (but sweet!), and very liberal. She’s responsible for a good many important civil rights decisions, involving mainly gender equality, sexuality equality, and the death penalty and due process. Apparently, if I’d been ...

DRUCILLA CORNELL AT TRIBECA BARNES & NOBLE TONIGHT
February 15, 2010 · Posted by Swan Lake Samba Girl ·
I was in the Tribeca Barnes & Noble yesterday and saw this poster. Tonight, at 7:00, my former Feminist Jurisprudence professor is giving a talk about her latest book, about Clint Eastwood (as director) and contemporary American masculinity. I think it sounds fascinating. Unfortunately, I have a prior commitment and can’t go, but if you have no plans and you’re in NY, please don’t miss her. She is one of the smartest people I’ve ever met in my life and I’m sure it will be well worth it to hear her speak.

SLSG NAMED TOP BLOG BY ATTORNEY.ORG
November 25, 2009 · Posted by Swan Lake Samba Girl ·
SLSG has been named a top law blog in the criminal law category by Attorney.org, likely for my previous coverage of the Sean Bell shooting trial and some other related posts. This is particularly exciting because my soon-to-be-published novel is in part about the life of a young female criminal appeals attorney. I also plan to write more about the Sean Bell case. So I’m very honored!
And apropos of criminal defense attorneys, the movie Disturbing the Universe is a must-see. It’s a documentary about the life of civil rights / criminal defense attorney William Kunstler, made by his daughters. Since ...
