I bought the NYT today when we stopped for gas on the way to the Eagles’ game. I hugged the newspaper all the way to Philadelphia and smiled so long my face hurt. But I kept smiling. Seeing it in print is so much different than seeing it on a website. Now I just have to figure out how…
In case anyone didn’t see my horribly squee-ish Tweet about it this morning, or feel the true intensity of said squee, I will bring the cause to your attention here now.

Skipp asked us all to wait until he made the official announcement. Wednesday, he made the official announcement, SO HERE IT IS! There’s a bit of a long story behind this one (color you shocked, right?), which covers why this tale will be a simultaneous release with its inclusion in PS Publishing’s Nick Cave anthology…but I’ll let Skipp explain…
Not only do I have the honor of AlphaOops: H is for Halloween being a Junior Library Guild Selection, but now I have this awesome lapel pin and a certificate suitable for framing. Squee!!!!! This is *so* way better than making the honor roll. Don’t forget — the release date is July 13, 2010. The publisher may sell out before…
