I am really very touched by all the friends and relatives who have gone to extra effort to boost Feast. I still can’t quite believe that we actually did get to Amazon bestseller status on launch day (even though I know that’s not nearly as hard to do as you might think). I mean, I […]

Hey, quick q. I kind of what to do a post that’s something like “Five Things You Might Not Know About Sri Lankan Food,” although that’s clunky and I’d rather find a better title. (Suggestions welcome.) But for example, I’ve been really startled to realize how many Americans assume all our food is spicy, and

Aw, just read Debbie Notkin’s appreciation of me for the #FogCon program book, and it is the SWEETEST. I’m not sure if they have a digital edition I can link to, but I will at least take a photo of it and put it up when I have a moment to breathe. It’s a heavily scheduled day

Just in case you want to obsessively follow along numbers with me, Feast is currently up to #13 in the category of Indian Cooking, Food, and Wine. (#1 in New Releases in that category, woot!) I’m not sure how likely it is to climb higher ( I think Jed said that it was briefly at

I was mostly watching the hardcover numbers yesterday, but pleased to note that the ebook is also doing well — #5 in Amazon New Releases in Indian food. Jed Hartman worked hard on making Feast’s Kindle edition beautiful and functional, so I’m pretty sure the people who get it will be pleased. 🙂

Do you have writer friends? Here’s something that I think isn’t widely understood outside the writing community: When a book launches, it’s the culmination often of years of work. Sometimes years and years. It’s as if your friend releasing a book is launching a small business, or finishing grad school. And what’s kind of wacky

The flavor of the dragonfruit comes through more strongly in marshmallows than in chocolate, so it’s a little startling if you’re not used to that flavor! Honestly, I will pick passionfruit over dragonfruit any day. But that said, it’s interesting and fruity, I’ll happily eat a few in a row, and if you’re looking to

I was so happy eating Roshani‘s salmon curry last night — I was exhausted and just couldn’t cope with cooking anything. I had rice in the fridge, and that was all I needed. And then I finished it off for breakfast today (I almost ate it all last night, because it was so good, even though
Spent a few minutes this morning on the subscription boxes for Patreon. I’m pretty sure I can fit two chocolate bars, one set of sweets in a box, one chapstick, one little bag of bath salts, one little bag of curry powder, and a few postcards in there. Maybe a poem too, and/or a little
