What started as an innocent blog comment has become a book deal. I've signed the contract and sent off the manuscript.
You Will Behave, the novella, will be out in October. It's really going to be more of a chapbook than a book. Probably just over 50 pages. But, hell, it will be a book with my picture on the back cover (I think). What more can you ask for?
An advance? A book tour? Well yes, I suppose . . . But you know what they say about gift horse and their mouths. So let's just shut up and be happy.
Stay tuned for news on he editorial process.
