You're not the boss of me

Erika (and Barak Obama) hit the best-seller listNative Intelligence contributor Erika Schickel', whose book, "You're Not the Boss of Me" was just published this month, can't quite bring herself to write about it. Too self-serving, she says. Too me-me-me. So here's a bit about Erika: she just got a great review in today's LA Times. The copies she autographed last week at the Barnes and Noble in Santa Monica are flying off the shelf, She'll be at the LA Times Festival of Books in the spring. And if you'd rather not wait that long. Erika's going to do guerilla readings of the book at local playgrounds around LA. Check out her website for events and info. And check out her book. As the LA Times says, Erika's "the girlfriend we had in high school and college who was soda-through-the-nose hilarious."
