Book Club Girl on Air Welcomes Matthew Norman to Discuss Domestic Violets!

I'm so pleased to announce that Matthew Norman will join us on Book Club Girl on Air on Thursday, September 8th at 7pm EST to discuss his debut novel, that has already gotten a lot of buzz among the blogs and on Twitter, Domestic Violets!

Tom Violet always thought that by the time he turned thirty-five, he’d have everything going for him. Fame. Fortune. A beautiful wife. A satisfying career as a successful novelist. A happy dog to greet him at the end of the day.

The reality, though, is far different. He’s got a wife, but their problems are bigger than he can even imagine. And he’s written a novel, but the manuscript he’s slaved over for years is currently hidden in his desk drawer while his father, an actual famous writer, just won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. His career, such that it is, involves mind-numbing corporate buzzwords, his pretentious archnemesis Gregory, and a hopeless, completely inappropriate crush on his favorite coworker. Oh . . . and his dog, according to the vet, is suffering from acute anxiety.

Tom’s life is crushing his soul, but he’s decided to do something about it. (Really.) Domestic Violets is the brilliant and beguiling story of a man finally taking control of his own happiness—even if it means making a complete idiot of himself along the way.

“Hysterical and often touching. . . . Domestic Violets is a fast, fun, hilarious read." —Jessica Anya Blau, critically-acclaimed author of The Summer of Naked Swim Parties and Drinking Closer to Home

A week or so ago myself and some fellow Two Point Oh! LA members got to go on a lovely jaunt to my local TJ Maxx. By local - I mean dangerously close - like 5 minutes walking distance. I'm fortunate enough to live near one of the newer stores complete with an excessively dangerous "Runway" section with lots and lots of high end designer bargains.
