I think you recommended I check this article out….and now I understand why! Perhaps I can “look Kristin up” – meet her for a cup of cha in Taikang Lu……after our pottery class tomorrow afternoon, say? Seriously, if there’s a way of connecting us….maybe you could point me in that direction….

I’ve sent you an email

Hi All!

Thanks so much for taking the time to read my post at “Bleeding Espresso.” I’m honored that Michelle asked me to visit.

It’s terrific to know there are so many parents out there with “seatkickers” in tow. (There should be a special flight for us.)

And yes, Jennifer in Shanghai, I’ll be doing an event (or two) at the Shanghai Lit Festival in March. Hope to see you there!

Cheers!

Kristin

Yes, it’s tough enough being on this side of the planet, far away from your main audience / customers. It’s even harder being behind the Great Wall, trying to communicate out. Thanks for sharing!

Apropos of the seat kicking: my hubby “solved” that problem by taking out his cellphone/camera and using the camera part — which quacks loudly– to distract the little girl behind him. Her mother explained to her that every time she kicked the seat a duck got hurt– didn’t she hear the quack? And the kicking stopped!

And thanks to Kristin for sharing her process of connecting. I’m fascinated by what actual authors have to say. I gained much from reading this.

What a funny and inspiring read! Kudos to her for all the hard work and doing everything with a toddler in tow. My kids are also champion seat kickers. I have a long list of passengers I have to apologize to!

I, too, live and work in Shanghai. I wish the writer the best of luck promoting her book given the Great Firewall that is blocking her communication with readers in the US. I hope she can be a featured writer at the Literary Festival this spring here in Shanghai.

As a writer living aboard dealing with a nine hour time difference (Rome/Los Angeles) this post was very, very inspiring to me.

Thanks for the great interview Michelle and Kristin.

Good luck Kristin with Thirsty. I will definitely check out your blog.
