I'm the author of 22 plus entertainment/celebrity books, including Timeless TV Trivia Quiz and Random Facts, Pop 'n' Rock Trivia Quiz: '60s to '80s, The Superheroes Movies Trivia Quiz Book and other entertainment/celebrity-themed tribute books, The Elton John Scrapbook, Starman: A Tribute to Bowie, The Cher Scrapbook and The Essential Jim Carrey. Before that time, I was an entertainment editor for celebrity specials on Elvis, The Royals, Michael Jackson, and Leonard Nimoy, my last tribute magazine before my newsstand publishing company closed. In addition, I was also editor-in-chief of teen, rock, and country music magazines. Consecutively. I continued writing celebrity tribute books while I was a magazine editor. If you go to my author's site, macassata.com, you can see more of my agent and non-agent work.

I saw other extensive information books on the show. I didn't want to do a reference guide where I would have to explain the references or one of those books that breaks down each character on the show. That had already been done. It's not what I had in mind. Besides being passionate about the show and the characters (not so much the lives of the actors that played them), I wanted to do a short, fun, informative tribute book that featured all the necessary elements: a quiz, facts, straight quotes from the characters, and a list of collectible memorabilia. My background is in tribute books and magazine specials. I have an agent, but I am also allowed to sell directly, and I knew BearManor published entertainment books and understood my passion for writing them. I have two other entertainment-based books with the company, and that's good enough for me.(less)

TMW Interview with Miss Piggy

One of my most fun interviews was with Miss Piggy and Kermit. I talked on the phone separately to The Muppet Stars. Of course, the actors that portrayed them did the entire interview in their voices. If you close your eyes long enough (I did as we spoke) it seems very real I did this for my TMW site. Hope you enjoy.
