I'm Sinking in Tech-Mire

Help! Help me!!
I just want to write, and maybe sleep a little...

I've been digging deeper into the blogosphere, trying to sort out Xanga Blogrings and figure out if I'd be better of on Blogger, Wordpress.com or Wordpress.org for my upcoming fantastic new website. But after my brain has been filled with chicklet links, feedburners, and the real worth of technorati tagging, there is little room to figure out del.icio.us and the best platform for podcasting...

I'm sinking!!!

Maybe I'm biting off more than I can chew here. I want to get out there and experience this hidden online world, this Web 2.0 thing. But maybe I should just go finish writing Book 3 and forget the whole thing.
Hmmmm......

Tom Johnson has an interesting article about Wordpress here: http://www.idratherbewriting.com/2006/09/12/advantages-of-using-wordpress-for-blogging/

I'm Stepping Through My Monitor Screen...

I've got so many exciting things going on online, why not move there entirely? I think I'm going to pack my bags and step through my monitor, and just live in cyberspace a while. (Now there's a good book idea!)

I've been holding out on you, but I'm excited to reveal that soon I'll be going on an online blog tour! There are some amazing blog sites I'll be stopping by. What a pleasure this will be after traveling from coast to coast on a "real" book tour! (Although this is just as real. I'll just be in my comfy clothes and not in a hotel room, that's all!)

This is the kind of tour I'm ready for now, after all my recent travels. And I have more traveling to come, with visits to Phoenix and Cleveland coming up soon. I'll give you more details soon...

In the meantime, here is an awesome interview done by Sookie at Over My Head:
http://overmyhead43.blogspot.com/2007/12/author-interview-kaza-kingsl.html
I'm now officially going by Queen of Fabulosity - thanks Sookie!

I have to say, I love the part of Sookie's profile that reads: I was born and raised in Texas where I learned the important things: how to walk in cowboy boots, how to eat a burrito properly (stuff it in your face), and how to read great books. She sounds like a really fun person! Makes me want to eat a burrito with her. (Probably have much better ones in Texas than Ohio!)

I'm also going to be on Book Bites for Kids this Monday, December 17th at 3 PM Eastern time (2 PM Central...) It's an online radio show - very fun!

Another cool blogger is going to interview me soon. Check it out on his site "The Jay," at http://www.thejay.com/2007/12/14/holiday-links-2007/
Love ya, Jay!

Big question - why even bother with life off screen?
Dunno.

Love and hugs and squeezes,

My Raw Food Fantasy

Yummm....
I am so jealous of you Californians, and New Yorkers, and all those other cities that have "Raw Food Restaurants." When I was in Santa Monica on my recent book tour I stopped by Juliano's Raw Restaurant on the corner of 6th and Broadway. http://www.planetraw.com/raw-restaurant.php
It was as amazing as I remembered. I can't remember what this dish was in the picture, but you can get the idea: (I think it was a dessert.)

And to even make it better, I went with my friend, fellow writer and bookseller Russel. I think if anyone sitting near us didn't know we were writers they might have worried about our conversation. (You can't imagine what we were getting our characters into!)

I think this was some kind of raw spring roll. Everything at this place, even the desserts, are all made from raw, healthy ingredients. How do they make chocolate cakes and ice creams at places like this? All I know is it involved a lot of coconut and vanilla beans ... Just go, okay??


Here's another really nice review I found today.

California Dreaming...

A Real Treat
One of the best parts about visiting L.A. in December was that I got to stay with my Most Amazing Uncle Marty when I was there! What a fun break. The rest of my California trip was great, too, but so busy with school talks, signings, media, etc.

Isn't he a sweetie!
Hope you're all psyching up for a great Holiday season!
Luv Always,
Kaza

Finally - My Tour and Media Dates Onilne!

My Ongoing Book Tour Online!
I found out about a great site called Book Tour: Where Authors and Audiences Meet. (Totally my kind of thing!) I uploaded as much as I could stand to in one sitting, which took me through January. For some reason I couldn't upload the schools I am going to be at, which is just as well I guess!

Here is the link: http://booktour.com/author/kaza_kingsley

Good thing I like traveling! My book tour shows no end. I'm going to be at a lot of schools in Cleveland and Arizona soon, too!

Hope to see you in my travels!
Love and hugs,

The Best Things in Life Cost $29.

Oh My!
I just gave myself the best holiday treat! I saw these advertised in a magazine called Cookie. They are candied chestnuts in honey, from Italy. You can see more about them at: http://www.formaggiokitchen.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=31
If you like chestnuts and honey, you'll love these. They have that Greek pastry taste. Oooohhh!
So, now you all know what to send me for gifts!!

A Great Review:
Here is another super nice review, by Kaleb Nation: http://kalebnation.com/blog/2007/12/03/erec-rex-the-dragons-eye/
Let me tell you a little bit about Kaleb. He is an amazingly talented writer, web designer, and much more - all at the ripe old age of 19! And he is also now a good friend. I met Kaleb online, and now he is designing a new website for me! I'm SO excited about it, too. But Kaleb also wrote a great book which is with an agent now, and I hope he'll be published soon! (Yes, I hear you thinking: what?? How old was he when he wrote it? I think he wrote it between the ages of 15 - 17. So cool!!)

Signing off with love,
Kaza
