Luke 1:
46 Miryam
said, "My soul magnifies the Lord.
47 My spirit has
rejoiced in God my Savior,
48 For he has looked at the humble state of his handmaid. For
behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
49 For he who is
mighty has done to me great things. Holy is his name.
50 His mercy is for
generations of generations on those who fear him.

book Buffalo Gal.

Buffalo Gal
Laura Pedersen was born in Buffalo, New York
(one of "God's frozen people") in 1965, at the
height of The Folk Music Scare. (For details of
misspent youth see essay at
'Is there a Nurse in the Church?'). After
finishing high school in 1983 she moved to
Manhattan and began working on The American
Stock Exchange, a time when showing up combined
with basic computation skills could be parlayed
into a career. She chronicled these years in her
first book, Play Money.

Having vowed to become anything but a journalist
and with no conception of what a semicolon does,
Laura spent the better part of the 1990s writing
for The New York Times.
In 1994 President Clinton honored her as one of
Ten Outstanding Young Americans. She has
appeared on TV shows including Oprah,
Good Morning America, Primetime Live,
and David Letterman.
In 2001, her first novel, Going Away Party,
won the Three Oaks Prize for Fiction and was
published by Storyline Press. Beginner's Luck
was published by Ballantine Books in 2003 and
subsequently chosen for the Barnes & Noble
"Discover Great New Writers" program, Borders
"Original Voices," and as a featured alternate
for The Literary Guild.
Pedersen's other novels include Last Call,
Heart's Desire, and The Big Shuffle.
Laura lives in New York City, teaches reading
and trades Yu-Gi-Oh! cards at the Booker T.
Washington Learning Center in East Harlem, and
is a member of the national literary association
P.E.N. (poets, essayists and novelists). |

A fabulous one-two literary punch,
BUFFALO GAL has the historical
sensibility of Russell Baker's GROWING
UP combined with the sharp humor of
Augusten Burroughs' RUNNING WITH
SCISSORS. The 8th largest city in the
country in 1901, known for its beauty
and progress, blizzard prone Buffalo had
slipped to 36th place by the end of the
century, with one-third of its citizens
on public assistance. Due to its heavy
ethnic mix, Catholic majority, and close
proximity to Canada, the city was a
flash point for race riots, anti-war
protests, abortion rallies, bingo,
bowling, and Friday night fish frys.
Join the Pedersens as they survive
separation, stagflation, the energy
crisis, and President Jimmy Carter's
boozy chain smoking brother marketing
his own line of "Billy" beer. |
