Hi, everybody. Welcome back to my blog, which was on hiatus in recent months because life was calling, but which has now returned, bigger and stronger, kinder and gentler. The paperback of MATRIMONY is now out, with a spanking new cover, which is generating strong feeling--some people love it, some people hate it, which is what a writer wants: just as long as people take notice. Speaking of the cover, there's an interesting contest going on over at A Reader's Journal.
It's a giveaway of a signed paperback copy of MATRIMONY, and the entrants have to say which cover they like better, the hardback or the paperback. The two are running neck and neck, and each side has unkind words for the other. It's like a prize fight! For the more highminded (and less cover-interested) among you, you can check out a guest blog I did yesterday over at Scott Esposito's Conversational Reading, where I discuss ten terrific novels about writers, writing, and the writing life. And I'll be moonlighting in the the next week or two at other blogs as well (in addition to my regular gig here), including The Elegant Variation and Booksquare. And check out the events section on this website for my upcoming paperback tour. I'll be back here tomorrow, so do stop by again.
