Trisha, who has an amazing book blog on MySpace - News and Reviews for Book Lovers - posted a lovely piece about Twins.

It's a fascinating review, because it's about a lot more than my book. It's all about Trisha, too, what was going on in her life while she was reading the novel.

Also, it's summer. The city of New York has done something that I like: free evening lap hours at the Astoria pool. Yes, I have to walk ten minutes to the subway, ride two stops, walk another ten minutes, but it's worth it. To me. I get to see the sun setting under the Triborough Bridge while I'm doing the crawl. I took the picture with my camera phone. That is my finger at the bottom of the image.

Kasi Lemmons' wonderful Talk To Me opened the same weekend as Harry Potter. I hate that, when small movies are released on the same day as the big the blockbuster. Don Cheadle practically bounces off the screen, hilarious and heartrending, as radio DJ Petey Greene in the sixties in DC. I hope people see it. (I am not against people seeing Harry Potter, by the way.)

Also, highly recommended, and way smaller, harder to find: Colma: The Musical.
