As Seen In...

Chris Sheridan's intelligent, informative, no nonsense but highly entertaining basketball website -- aptly named Sheridan Hoops -- is a must-read for anyone who gives serious thought to the world of pro-ball (and its many off-shoots / happenings)... I know this because I often visit and enjoy what's on offer.

When I approached Chris with news about my 35-day KickStarter campaign, he promptly replied, devising a simply solution to my desire to avoid the standard Q&A format. Inviting me to inform his readers about my book / its backstory, using my own words, Chris thought it would be best to offer a personal history mixed with insight. Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity and believe you'll enjoy the results. The complete contribution can now be read here.

Huge thanks to Chris and the team for the look... it's always rewarding when a peer is supportive of a passion project like The Backpack Baller.

As Seen in... Purse Blog!

WhatIWore: 

Last Friday I contributed to the Purse Blog with 'What's in Her Bag..."  Click through to check out the full interview!

For the past couple weeks I've traded in my purse + tote combo for one bigger bag that fits everything (and I mean EVERYTHING! SLR, laptop, cords galore, water bottles, gadgets and Gizmos, and all of normal goodies that go into a handbag).  This Lucia Weekender bag comes with three huge sections plus loads of little pockets.  I must have pockets!  I can't wait to take this on my next flight or over night trip. 

My Lucia Weekender is courtesy of Ellington Handbags.
