Miss Abigail

Abbie Grotke, a.k.a. "Miss Abigail," returns this week to her native Buffalo to promote her first book, Miss Abigail's Guide to Dating, Mating, and Marriage: Classic Advice For Contemporary Dilemmas (Thunder Mouth Press). She will appear at Borders Books in Cheektowaga on Saturday (Aug. 12), 2pm, to promote her new book, which offers advice garnered from dating and etiquette books from days gone by. Answers to questions like "How Do I Date Multiple Prospects?" and "Why Must I Wait to Wear My White Shoes?" may well be answered by chapters like "Stop Drinking and Listen to Your Mother," from 1939. Abbie got her start at www.chew-the-parasite.com, and now has her own site at www.missabigail.com, full of dated, belated advice, appropriate for anyone with a sense of humor.
