I thought I'd take a break from self-imposed blog exile to sound the horn about the imminent release of My First Book. "Book," if you can find it in your heart/brain/gizzard to call something that uses pictures as well as words to tell a story. I do, but my traditional definition of "book" as anything bound has proved awkward on my inspection visits to jungle prisons.
And "First," if you don't count that YA romance anthology that I somehow ended up in. And, of course, the "My" only makes sense if you overlook the fact that I only *CO* wrote the words, and someone else entirely did the pictures.
So...if there's anyone out there who comes to this blog who doesn't first stop by my wife's site (and who wouldn't? she updates that thing with new content like every two hours), the book is called "Rapunzel's Revenge," and you should go out and buy it now. Or pre-order it, anyway. They moved up the publication date to this Monday or something. Soon. I'm not sure why. I think the publisher got nervous about that big London Times piece about how the book's text is one giant anagram of a Middle English translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
It's totally not, though. That's just ridiculous. I don't know why journalists make up stuff like that.
Still, you should get the book and find out for yourself. Don't take my word for it.
And if you want more info, Shannon has a cornucopia of it here.
Are you sure YOU didn't write that alleged London Times article? It sounds like you.

Dear sir,
My copy of Rapunzel's Revenge was excellent, but defective. I'm quite certain there were supposed to be 300 additional pages at the end of it. Please send soon!
