Just in time for this happy holiday season, the Winter 2009 issue of Boho Magazine has arrived on the newsstands! For the 3rd issue in a row, I’m delighted to have my writing work featured in this awesome eco-magazine.
This time around, I wrote the My Boho Life column on page 24-25. Talking about her new book, I’m Dreaming of a Green Christmas, Anna Getty was a pure pleasure to chat with. Pick up a copy today, give it a read, & let the editors know what you think.

If you’ve been following me on Twitter or Facebook, then you’ve seen mentions of my SECRET BIG PROJECT for the past 2 weeks. Driving you nuts yet? Breath a sigh of relief. The time has come …
After signing the legal documents & getting the a-ok from “the powers that be”, I’m elated to announce that I AM WRITING MY FIRST BOOK!
Come on – this is big news; do a little dance with me! 
OK, you can stop. People are probably staring at you.
On Friday, I signed the publishing contract with Turner Publishing (@TurnerPub) & received the time-line for the book:
- Outline due Friday, December 4th
- Sample due Monday, December 14th
- Manuscript due Monday, February 15th, 2010
Before you jump in, I know what you are going to ask: what is the book about? Tentatively titled 37 Things to Know About Yoga, my book is a simplified introduction to the many aspects of yoga. The book will be a perfect gift for anyone who has thought about starting yoga, has just taken their first few classes, or as a basic reference guide for experienced yogis. It will focus more on the knowledge, concepts, and misconceptions of yoga, not only the postures.
It is possible the # of “things” may change … we’ll see how my outline comes together. No release date is set, but the publisher plans to have it on shelves in 2010. The book will be an uber-affordable $9.99 per copy, quaint at 6.5″ x 5.5″ in size, & roughly 160 pages (30,000 words).
So … yeah … I’m going to be a publisher author. Pretty freakin’ sweet.
You can bet your bippy that I’ll be writing about the experience of growing from writer to author RIGHT HERE on my blog. I’ll talk about the struggles, triumphs, making deadlines, and even asking for your input! Plus, I’ll be giving away a few copies of the book and letting you know when its available for pre-order on Amazon. I might even be doing a book signing near you. 
(tentative areas: Hartford, New Haven, Providence, Boston, NYC, San Francisco) If you know of a yoga studio or bookstore that might be interested in having me visit, let me know!

The latest issue of Boho Magazine has hit newsstands! Yours truly has not one, but TWO articles in this installment. Both pieces feature interviews with some big-name eco-folks: photographer Nigel Barker and Segway inventor Dean Kamen. Talking with both of them was pure delight – major highlights of my writing career.
Mosey over to your favorite magazine merchant and pick up a copy! Flip to pages 44 and 82 for my pieces. If you like them, don’t hesitate to let the editors know.

Goodness – aren’t I behind! Zipping from one project to the next, I forgot to mention the second round of articles I wrote for InnerRewards (see the first set here).
During your next break, take a peak at my new topics & the vibrant InnerRewards community:
If you are in San Francisco, you can meet-up with some the ladies of InnerRewards on September 11th for a Spa Party! (wish I could make it)

That’s right – I’m blogging for a magazine!
Launched just this week, Natural Home Magazine has a new blog, titled Green Decor and Design. I’m honored to be one of the bloggers they chose for this addition to their already-fantastic website.
My first weekly “Eco-Decor Delights” post went live yesterday. Please take a second to click over to the blog and say hello!
Have a favorite eco-decor company or product? (anything from cleaning products and room accessories to furniture and artwork) Leave a comment & let me know about it – I just might feature them in an upcoming “Eco-Decor Delights” entry.

This is another major milestone for my writing career!
Yoga Journal’s September 2009 issue includes my first feature-length article in a major magazine (sold on newsstands nationwide).
I’m truly beside myself right now. As an added bonus, I’m touched that my editor was able to get my new (married) name on the piece. Within the next 2 weeks, the issue will be on newsstands – pick up a copy & show support for one of your favorite writers!
AHOY! DOWN HERE! Visit my writing portfolio for a sneak peak at “How Green is Your Studio?“

I’m always giddy when a magazine with my writing hits the newsstands, but this one in particularly special.
“Why?” you may ask.
Because it marks two firsts for my career in one issue:
1) My first time appearing in Boho Magazine!
2) My first time having three articles in one issue!
Check you favorite magazine retailer for the Summer 2009 issue of Boho Magazine. On the hunt for my pieces? Here’s where to find them:
*** Page 20-21: An introduction to, and interview with, Nadine Curtis – founder of Be Sweet.
*** Page 38: Quick tips on how to tell if your wedding invitations are really eco-friendly.
*** Page 81: 5 tips on how to start your own plentiful garden indoors (& a cheerful mention of Gayla Trail and her You Grow Girl book).
This issue just hit the market a few days ago, so don’t be discouraged if you local store doesn’t have it yet … but keep calling them until they do.

Hello, ahoy, bonjour, hej … and all that jazz. After much hemming and hawing, and a lot input from fellow writers, I decided to add a blog to my new website – which is what you are reading now!
As previously mentioned, Victoria-E.com will be live until July 2010. I’ll still be posting a bit over there, but by August 2009, that will stop. All of my writing, photography, and eco-consulting updates; shopping favorites; random thoughts; social commentary … etc will all be posted right here from now on.
Speaking of writing updates, my first collection of articles written for InnerRewards.com went online today! Please stop by and give them a read:
