LONELY
PLANET USA
March, 2008 - In stores
It's
a big country, and someone's gotta write about it! Eighteen
authors set out to find every roadtrip-worthy nook and
cranny of the US. What was my assignment? Let's just
say I found out more about alligators than I ever wanted
to know.

giggle
guide to baby gear
by Ali Wing, text by Mariella Krause
September, 2008 - In stores
Chronicle Books
I
don't have kids, unless you count my cat, which—just
to be clear—I don't. So when I told everyone that
I was writing a baby book, the reaction was, "Oh...
really?" (What they were really thinking: Is it
about your cat?) But Ali
Wing, CEO of giggle
baby stores, can tell you just about anything you need
to know about picking out all that stuff you need when
you have a kid. And now, after working with her on this
project, I can too.

Destination
Wedding Planner
By Alison Hotchkiss with Mariella Krause
Coming sometime in 2009
Chronicle Books
I
always wondered what "with" meant on the title
page. Now, I'm a "with." Which means I'm the
ghostwriter. Which sounds spooky, but it isn't. Especially
since it's for Chronicle Books. This is a wedding planner
for people getting married somewhere other than where
they live, which I'm writing with a destination wedding
planner, Alison
Hotchkiss. Look for it in—well, I guess don't
look for it quite yet, but I'll post details when they're
available.

This
book could be titled, "How I Spent My Summer Vacation."
The subhead is "52 Themed Itineraries, 1009 Local
Places to See," and I personally took – and
wrote about – 14 of them. How they arrived at
the 1009 places to see, well, I feel sorry for whatever
intern had to figure that one out. (Okay, they were numbered,
I guess it wasn't that hard.) I explored Washington's
wine country, visited roadside attractions, and looked
for whales from the San Juan Islands (which I highly recommend).
