About me:
I am obsessed, and I mean obsessed, with rude behavior. You know, like talking in the movies, taking up two parking spaces, spitting on the street, clipping nails in public, and talking loudly on cell phones. I guess I feel that since in our lifetime we can't eradicate poverty or end war, what we can do is try to make the world a better place to live...one annoying person at a time.
I even wrote a book about it: Late Night Taking. It's about a woman who goes too far to stop rude behavior and almost loses everything and everyone important to her in the process.
Go to Leslie Schnur and learn more and ENTER MY TWO CONTESTS--you might win a free book or a vase of flowers if you have a good story of something you did to nip rude behavior in the bud!

Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone and everyone who has pet peeves when it comes to rude behavior. But mostly, I'd love to meet anyone who has done something about it. Because you are a true hero. Have you told anyone to be quiet in a movie? My brother did and almost got arrested!
Also, anyone with pets! Specifically dogs. I wrote a book about dogs and their crazy owners--The Dog Walker--which got lots of great reviews and was optioned for the movies.
And, of course, I'd like to meet readers and writers and fans and new friends.
