I felt I had to post the news quickly, as (a) the "week" might already be almost over, and (b) I don't expect to ever be selected again. So I'll enjoy it while I can! Thanks, Jody.

Yes, Dial have been on a roll when it comes to covers. I thought the one for Catherine Fisher's INCARCERON earlier this year was literally jaw-dropping. I feel immensely fortunate, believe me! Oh, and A LOVE STORY STARRING MY DEAD BEST FRIEND is on my to-be-read list. And yes, another great cover. Can't wait to hear what you think of DUMB. Thanks for the words of support! And finally, congrats to your whole family on completing the move. Isn't it a treat to have a library. I trust Colonel Mustard will be getting lots of use! Thanks so much, Jody.

Love it. I'd be willing to bet that the contents are as lovely as the cover. And, coincidentally, I just bought another Dial book last night - A LOVE STORY STARRING MY DEAD BEST FRIEND - and I fell in love with that cover, as well. Go Dial! And as you know, I'm so looking forward to reading your book. FANTASTIC! Love it. I’d be willing to bet that the contents are as lovely as the cover.

And thanks for commenting on my blog too! Yup, the wait until DUMB finally comes out is tough, but I have other deadlines along the way to keep me distracted. In fact, if I haven't completely wrapped up my next book with DIal by November, then I'll be in trouble. So I guess that's how I'll pass the next six months . . . in a state of panic! Cheers again!

This is the kind of stuff that gets me excited! Especially since no one even reads my blog, LOL! Thanks! You're totally awesome! I'll definitely be getting your book the day it comes out!

As it happens, yes, I did used to run short distances. I was on the track team at Washington and Lee University and ran the 400m. Anything more than one lap and I get bored, you see? I'm reliably informed that my blog posts are, um . . . lacking. So I'll try to learn some lessons from you there! Greg, that’s so funny. As it happens, yes, I did used to run short distances.

If so, then there is some symmetry at work here. I myself like to write brief blog-style pieces, and could imagine writing a short story, but a novel? Even a YA-length novel? NO WAY! That would require way too much time, effort, sustained focus.... So you authors do have tremendous endurance, in your own way.... Antony, do you like to run over short distances?
