I know I said I wasn’t going to have time to post again until I got back from SF. I am a lying liar. I do have time to relay a little Once Was Lost biz. Such as:

a nice review by way of San Jose you pack your car and ride away (with apologies to Burt Bacharach),

a third starred review, this time from Booklist, in the issue that is mailing out tomorrow. I may be breaking some kind of law by telling you that today, but I’m leaving town for the next week and how can I wait until the official date to share such good news? I’ll mitigate my transgression by not quoting from the review until after the 15th.

And, in case you didn’t realize, Once Was Lost is also available in audiobook format right now, as a CD set or download, both unabridged, from our friends at the Listening Library. Hi Cassandra and Dan! If you missed it, when I went down to L.A. to record the book I made a little behind the audiobook video.

Finally, there’s a new interview with me here, in which I reveal that success doesn’t make writing any easier. Also, Tabitha, my host, is giving away a copy of OWL this month—check it out.

Okay, time to pack! This is the second-to-last time I will have to pack in 2009. Huzzah. Don’t forget to come see me in San Francisco–details here.
