My friend Andi Buchanan (author of the essential book Mother Shock, and editor of the fabulous It's A Boy, Literary Mama, and the forthcoming It's a Girl anthologies) is wrapping up her GCC tour. I would do a big juicy GCC post about her, but I'm going to be part of her book blog tour next month, and thought I'd wait until then (plus, I don't have the time to do the post justice right now.) I'll get to see Andi this Thursday, when I'm going to be part of her anthology reading at Diesel Books in Oakland. I'm very excited! Andi and I have known each other online for years; I feel very close to her, even though we've never met in person. It will be a treat to bring our friendship into the real world!

In lieu of a regular GCC post, take a look at Andi's stunning recent post about maternal judgement on her own blog (which also features links to other GCC stops on her tour.)
