News! My new book will be coming out in the spring! It is about lesbians and dead moms and weird not-quite-dead creatures. It is based on One Bloody Thing After Another. Emily and I sometimes joke that A Softer World is mostly about lesbians, dead moms and zombies, and so at first that was how I referred to the book. But it's not really about zombies. They're just weird bloody violent creatures. Also, youthful vandalism and vomiting ghosts and young love! Spring '10! Also, My book Overqualified just had its third printing! You guys are great. Where would I be without such a lovely group of people crazy enough to enjoy my off-kilter nonsense? Off-kilter nonsense? Who talks like that? I'm so sorry. I'm just sort of giddy because I sold my new book and I love you.
