But I hear tell zombies are a big deal these days. @Jonathan ALA was a blast, I agree! Roger Sutton facedown in that punch bowl -- I'll never forget it. I wonder if he even remembers? @Katie Still dead to me. But I hear tell zombies are a big deal these days.

Thanks for linking to my book trailer, though I must say that to compare it to Adam's trailer is crazy ... his is way slicker AND has werewolves!

But we'll let it go now, James, yes? Unless I'm still dead to you? Obviously James and I *think* TUCK EVERLASTING won, because we refer to it in that category. But we’ll let it go now, James, yes?

I love the off-beat music. He's a regular in the Brooklyn/NYC music scene. I especially love when hooks up with my Superfine friends here and in Europe. Sxip Shirey is amazing!

That Sxip Shirey one was like staring down the abyss of madness! The edition of "His Dark Materials" that Philip Pullman had illustrated is beautiful. I was moved to buy the whole series over again. By the way, I don't know if he's still like this now, but back in 2000 or so, every time I wrote Philip Pullman an email he would write back scarily quick -- like, within the hour. And I was nobody! A complete stranger! Eventually I stopped writing to him, only because his rapid response time exhausted me. Classy fellow, that Pullman. Happy to find myself cheek-by-jowl with Auxier. His trailer is marvelous, and so is his book! Lordy! That Sxip Shirey one was like staring down the abyss of madness!
