4th Printing Announced Today...

Very nice.

Last day of March...

Sales are strong and have actually gotten stronger -- so thanks to the word-of-mouth folks. And thanks again to our cover girl -- that face is selling books!

The third printing is in stores now. What's different? On the cover is the NY Times Editor's Choice mention and on the back are quotes from various reviews. Inside are the blurbs from incredible and generous writers: Roland Merullo, Jim Shepard, Craig Nova, Jill Eisenstadt, Michael Korda and George Pelecanos. And still, the cover-worthy quote from Janet Fitch remains on the cover. Does anyone other than my wife and me care about all of this? Of course not. But it's fun just the same.

Another good week for Barack. Endorsements roll in. Money piles high. Poll numbers up. Pressure on Hillary -- under heavy sniper fire -- polls dropping, money drying up, Bill red-faced and finger-wagging--never a good sign. Pennsylvania surprise? Page is turning...

Urban Outfitters and the UK...

Got some nice news this week. TDM is being distributed at Urban Outfitters across the country and is apparently selling well - they actually want to order more. If TDM is holding its own along with "Everyone Poops" well, you can't beat that.

Heard from the British publisher and wonderful editor Sarah Castleton recently, they hit a snag and were unable to use the planned cover, but the new one is even better...so good times...oh, and Frances Owen, the pub director at Atlantic Books (UK) has arranged an interview with monthly mag Dazed&Confused...

Movie stuff is still moving forward...script being crafted...movie people acting like movie people...count on nothing until you're wiping your buttery fingertips on your jeans as the opening credits roll...
