What are otherworldlies?  Even Webster's isn't as worldly as Jennifer Anne Kogler who seems to have created something or other...new Vampires that vant to suck your blood or DRTV buyers that snap up product?  I'm looking forward to finding out!
 
Jennifer Anne Kogler’s new book will be out June 17, 2008!

"Jennie" as Clare and John Kogler, of our DRTV industry's Jordan Whitney Greensheets, call her - is their youngest of six boys and two girls.  They have so much to be proud of --- as does Jennifer obviously.  I understand she is now in law school at Stanford! 
 
I loved her first book, “Ruby Tuesday” (she wrote this while at Princeton as her senior thesis) and I am certain “The Otherworldlies” will be fabulous.  You can pre-order now at Amazon.com – http://www.amazon.com/Otherworldlies-Jennifer-Anne-Kogler/dp/0060739592/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1205781380&sr=8-1 and you get a special savings for placing your order in advance. 
 
She will be hitting the book touring circuit soon - including a week in Chicago near where my sister Kate teaches.  Kate's passion is reading and she is also a Jennifer Anne Kogler fan --- so, I'm hoping Ms. Kogler can make a stop at West Oak.  If this all works out - I may just have to take a few days off to join in the fun!
 
More on Jennifer: 
 
Jennifer Anne Kogler, 23, lives in Orange County, California, where she was born and raised. She's wanted to be a writer since she was old enough to hold a pencil. When the first stories she wrote as a youngster became too long, she solved the problem by simply killing off all her characters, a technique she improved upon in her later work.
 
While a student at Princeton University, Jennie spent a semester studying in London, finding time between classes to travel through most of Europe (including an almost fatal boat ride to Inishmore off the coast of Ireland). After graduating cum laude with a B.A. in English and delivering a graduation speech with her twin brother Jeremy, she returned home, determined to fulfill her career dream of becoming a fulltime writer.
 
Taking up residence in her old bedroom she revised the novel that she'd written as her senior thesis at Princeton. She got a job in a local restaurant and realized that her life had become a fully-realized cliché: The waitress/would-be writer. By the end of the summer following graduation Jennie sent her revised manuscript, Ruby Tuesday, off to literary agencies. Within days, she received a phone call from Trident Media Group, offering to represent her and two months later, she had a two-book deal with HarperCollins.
 
Jennie has one sister and six brothers, is a longtime fan of the L.A. Dodgers, and enjoys participating in the annual Kogler Family Christmas low-stakes poker tournament.
