I still haven't wandered into a local bookstore yet, but word is--it's out there!

Here's a new review, courtesy of my publicist at Random House.

And a bit of backstory at...Backstory.

Did I mention that I have an interview with Scott Simon at NPR this afternoon! I should be on this Saturday. They pre-record it in case I sound like Bobcat Goldthwait on acid.

That's so exciting. I can't imagine how you must be feeling now that it's out there. And what a fantastic review. I wish you lots of sales and satisfied readers!

Scott Simon? *swoon* (Fine, I'm an NPR nerd, but that is so awesome.) Congrats!

He seems like such a nice guy. I have this fear that he'll suddenly go all Katie Couric on me and start asking what magazines I read...what books I like...whip out an egg timer and ask me to solve a Rubik's Cube...

Congratulations! That is absolutely fantabulous. I can well remember seeing my own book in a store for the first time. I'm still waiting to happen on a copy of my new book unexpectedly.

Don't you think you should go out looking for it? :D

I didn't buy it, but I saw it in a bookstore. Once I have money, I may very well buy it; it sounds like a good read.

Congrats!

Do you sound like Bobcat????


I heard it's out. It must be so fantabulous...hurry and go into that bookstore and stand in front of that display and start bawling. Be prepared to prove that it is your book...they may try to have you physically removed. Embrace it...embrace the book!

Congrats!

It's a national interview, so you should be able to get it anywhere there's an NPR affiliate. But if you live waaaaaaaaaay off the grid, you can listen to it here, next week.
