Brendan Halpin, Dear Catastrophe Waitress

This month, we talk to Brendan Halpin, author of two memoirs and three books of fiction. His latest, Dear Catastrophe Waitress, is a simmering romance between two scarred souls who have each been on the wrong side of a hit break-up song. Music plays a big part in this novel and all of Halpin's work, and we talk to the author about his take on pop in 2007, as well as his life as a teacher and a writer, and the ins and outs of marketing yourself as a novelist on the Internet. Visit Brendan's TypePad blog and check the TypePad Bookstore for the opportunity to buy Dear Catastrophe Waitress or any of Halpin's previous work.
