Somehow it’s easier to laugh at someone else’s messed up life than at your own. Start the New Year off with a roar of laughter when you interview Laurie Perry (aka Crazy Aunt Purl). She’ll enchant your audience with her off-the-wall tales of the two years she spent living alone in a tiny rented house with four cats. She’ll talk about her slight wine and Cheetos problem, the hazards of dating after divorce and how taking up knitting prevented her from “directing traffic in her nightgown.”

CREDENTIALS: Laurie Perry’s Crazy Aunt Purl blog has been featured in the New York Times. Her new book is CRAZY AUNT PURL’S DRUNK, DIVORCED, AND COVERED IN CAT HAIR: The True-Life Misadventures of a 30-Something Who Learned to Knit When He Split.
