I've got news for the remaining eight people who might know about this blog. It's good news. Super news.

Harper Perennial bought my second novel BAD MARIE. It will be released summer 2010. The book is being pitched as Mary Gaitskill meets "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle." I like that. It's both accurate and it's not. Marie takes rank as my favorite fictional character written by me. Sorry Sue. Sorry Chloe.

More immediate news: I've got a short story in the new issue of Knock. It's edited by the fantastic writer Jonathan Evison (ALL ABOUT LULU), who I first met through Myspace, and there's lots of great work by many, many  terrific writers, including Kim Chinquee, Pasha Malla, Greg Downs, Monica Drake, Keith Dixon, and also an interview with David Liss.
