Dry Boots
A sly person. A hustler.
"Anne always seems to be in the right place, at the right time, talking with the right person. There's a reason they call her 'Dry Boots'!"
Hi. My first novel, Rock Bottom, was published by Back Bay Books/Little, Brown, in 2009, and is being staged as a musical by the Landless Theater Company in 2011. I am working on novels in which mishaps occur, and people must make those mishaps right, though sometimes they would prefer to just lie around and watch TV. I also teach at Seattle University, and prefer sunny days.
Um, how much do I love this blog? How do I apply to have myself immortalized in one of your sentences? Jen Michaels
