See you on the shelves soon!<BR/><BR/>And thanks for mentioning 2k8.<BR/><BR/>As for bats...well, I've had some ver-r-r-ry interesting experiences with bats--some of which got me started writing, so I have to be grateful to them.<BR/><BR/>M.P.

I'm glad the year of the bat has finally rolled around again.<BR/><BR/>TadMack, I feel like a total nope (allusion to <I>The Witch Family</I>), but I know you've written a book-- just not what it's about. I'll look around in archives, but if I can't find info, please tell me! This is all very exciting, of course.<BR/><BR/>The guy who faked his publicity sheets reminds me that I have a friend with two self-published books. She uses her married name as her author name, and her maiden name as her publicist. Both have the same first name. I'm sympathetic to the frustrations of feeling one has to jump through hoops that are set up merely to trip people. I'm not decided yet on how I feel about Mr. I. M.

I'm hoping to have more good news of that sort soon!<BR/><BR/>A.F. -- The fact that the fake publicist author is a minority is being batted around as being one of those "well, the publishing world is geared toward the dominant culture, so he was only doing what he had to do," but I don't know -- that whole thing makes me uneasy. More than just painting all YA authors, he's brushing some pretty thick tar on minorities, perhaps. I don't know...<BR/><BR/>Sara, the YA Con-thing is for writers who write for that age group, not just for the kids. Again: fun times! <BR/><BR/>Awww! Thanks for the love. I don't know <I>what</I> to post about the book, except ...I'm waiting. I'll try and think of something!!!tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-22317745766443874382008-01-03T04:47:00.000-08:002008-01-03T04:47:00.000-08:00Maybe blogging is another form of echolocation?Maybe blogging is another form of echolocation?Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-61316026972394469852008-01-02T14:36:00.000-08:002008-01-02T14:36:00.000-08:00The fact that you can use the word echolocation in...The fact that you can use the word echolocation in such a casually appropriate and witty way in your blog post...well, it makes me want to squee! squee! Word nerds unite!! <BR/><BR/> The SF/Fantasy Con for YA sounds awesome too. A lot of my friends in college went to Cons, but there's way more that could be done for younger ages. <BR/><BR/>When are you going to start posting more about your book?

I guess the danger lies in the public judging all YA authors by his actions, though one would hope they wouldn't. <BR/><BR/>YAY, YEAR OF THE BAT! I love bats. I have a Bat Thing. I just think they're neat. I was so happy when they were included on the Post Office's "Pollinators" stamps.
