She's leaving the kids all the money they owe her

My buddy Joan Nielsen, long time editor and publisher of Miami's Social magazine, is signing her new book, "I'm Leaving the Kids All the Money They Owe Me," at Books and Books tomorrow.

She is finalizing her new book, "Greats and Ingrates I Have Known."

If you've lived in Miami for any length of time, you'll know many of the movers and shakers she exposes, by name in her current book. She puts down every one of her four children by name, almost every business partner (by name) and almost every society matron you can name (by name) and especially her ex-husband. I am surprised she is not in court fighting off all the lawsuits, but I guess if you print the truth, there is no way to be sued.

I was unable to put the book down and read it in one sitting. I kept looking for my own name, but I guess I never pissed her off. So I am not in there. She did mention me, in a good way, in a couple of her other books.

Joan will be at Books and Books (265 Aragon) tomorrow, Sunday, at 2 pm. You may also reach Joan at strokespokes@aol.com where she will take book orders.
