In a world...

...where no one lives forever. The Great movie announcer Don LaFontaine has died at the age of 68. Not only is that a total drag, but it makes me ponder the notion of death--ages of death specifically. As I kid, I would have thought 68 was pretty old. But for dying, 68 seems VERY young to shuffle off this mortal coil. Don never cared that no one knew his name, because EVERYONE knew his voice. RIP Don.



In novel news, you have much less time than I thought to preorder The Cat's Apprentice. Just until the 11th. After that you'll get a regular copy that you'll have to send off to get signed. I'm still happy to do it, and I still think it's silly to want my autograph. :-]

Get that?

You have ONLY until September...wait, lets say the 10th to order The Cat's Apprentice.

Off you go, then.

By the way, why does anyone give a rats ass about Sarah Palin's knocked up daughter? I agree, it goes a long way toward proving that abstinence-only education doesn't work. But seriously, who in their right mind ever thought it would? Besides, there are plenty of other great reasons not to vote McCain.

Midwest Book Review

This is kind of a big deal:



Clicky to make biggie.

I can't find the link to the actual review, my publisher never told me about it. I guess they don't write bad reviews, but they refuse a lot of books.

I'm fairly stoked.
