Housebroken

I gotta pay more attention.  I saw an ad for Fergie's new perfume yesterday, and I swear I thought they were singing, "She's housebroken!" in the background.

That would be a truly original name for a perfume--the actual name, "Outspoken," doesn't get my attention at all.

But maybe that's just me.

Anyway, I just did a phone interview with Sarah Earle of the Concord Monitor.  She's writing a column about me that'll be in the Sunday Book Section on October 3rd. 

There's something indescribably cool about being written up in your hometown paper.  This is the same newspaper in which I first discovered Dave Barry's work. I've seen that familiar logo

around this house since I was a kid (we bought my grandparent's house a few years back, so, when I say *this* house, I'm being strangely specific).

So, if you're local, please pick up a copy of the paper this weekend and check it out!  I'll also try to link from here.

Keep an eye out for more info on the query contest for YA paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi. It'll start next week.
