The Lo Zone

A groovy place in cyberspace run by author Lolita Files. Come on in. Bring some Pepsi.

Lo Fun Fact #1

"Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. For as long as she lived, she had no idea there was anything sexual or seedy about being called "Lolita".

Lo Fun Fact #2

I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes (although obviously I can't eat fried chicken nearly as much as I'd like). If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Church's (that's right, I said Church's) and a pair of Christian Louboutins.

Lo Fun Fact #3

Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi. Better yet, how about not showing up at all?

Lo Fun Fact #4

I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you or take a long time to return your calls. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? (Exception: I will happily take all calls related to business or to share fun/exciting/major news. I'm just not one for jawing on the phone just to be jawing.)

Lo Fun Fact #5

I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!!

Lo Fun Fact #6

I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. I'm always on my laptop and connected to the internet as I work and when IM's pop into my screen out of nowhere, they break my concentration and often startle the sh*t out of me in the process. So don't do it. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position.

Lo Fun Fact #7

I have ~~four~~ ~~five~~ six wonderful, slap-happy dogs and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. I had a bird (a Roller pigeon that I rescued in LA on New Year's Day in 2004) named B-Bird (what? that's a good name!) who passed away in February 2009, which broke my widdle heart in half. He loved me so, as I did him. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs and cat, we'll be instant friends, and if you ask about B-Bird, I'll probably hug you (unless you smell...wash first). If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have ~~four~~ ~~five~~ six dogs and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond.

Introducing....

Tuesday, February 27, 2007

I thought this book wouldn't be available until March 1st, but I saw copies of it in Waldenbooks over the weekend. What book is that you ask? It's the new anthology featuring our beloved hostess, Lolita Files and two of her writing peers,

Connie Briscoe and Anita Bunkley.

I haven't read it yet (just flipped some pages in the bookstore). Somebody, I'm not saying who, promised me a copy and I guess it's coming via the scenic route.

I'm just anxious, not ungrateful.

Nevertheless, I know it's going to be a good read, my literature benefactor never puts out anything that isn't top notch.

Amazon, has an excerpt of this recent offering that you can check out. I guess I won't jack them for it, this time.

You can CHECK IT OUT HERE.

The excerpt is from Connie Briscoe and I rather enjoyed it. I hope you do as well.
