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. To this day, she has no idea what a "Lolita" is.

Lo Fun Fact #2

I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of Christian Louboutins.

Lo Fun Fact #3

Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all?

Lo Fun Fact #4

I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay?

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. 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, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have ~~four~~ ~~five~~ six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond.

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.
