Yeah, I took Yanky-Thanky off yesterday. What are you gonna do about it, huh? One of my sons is American, so I feel it’s incumbent upon me to ensure he develops a deep pride in the historical accomplishments of his birth natio…. BWAHAHAHA. No, I’m kidding. I just fucked around for a day. I couldn’t stand the thought of Dennis and Maud and Jessa and everyone else getting to goof around whilst I slaved away, so I used my spare time to work on my book instead. And by that I mean I did everything but work on my book while the file was open on my desktop. Sigh.
- The five hotties of the Anansi Girls bookclub get some love at the National Post (I’m telling you, this group is a heart attack waiting to happen. Browr.)
- French fairy tales (hint: the children teach the mice how to smoke)
- NYT’s holiday gift guide
- Borders UK: still warm but already having books and buckles removed by scavengers
- This is how bad it is to be a writer: hooker-cum-author misses being a prostitute (aw baby, you’re still a whore, just a different kind now…)
- Bloomberg Press is closing
- Kindle’s bestsellers are mostly books about, or in some cases by, vampires
- Publishing, like Celine’s heart, will go on, even without Orpah

Well George, hope you had a great international version of our turkey day. Thanksgiving is sometimes a bit weird for us in Alaska. Since we are in teh Arctic and more physically seperated from the whole pilgrim thing than any other the rest of the US except Hawaiians and American Samoans there is little similarity between our thanksgiving feasts and those of say, the midwest. We endured a foot of fresh snow, which led to an hour of fun sledding, followed by an evening of thawing around tons of food.
What I really wanted to say though was that it is too bad Oprah is not going to promo my book by the time it comes out, as much as she as done for terrorist thrillers I feel hurt that I will miss on those millions of sales.
Henceforth I am considering opening a French Cartoonist Prostitute Spider Book Club that specialises in Kindle titles about vampires who eat limes with bloody mary’s in lieu of human blood.
Maybe Oprah will come back…just for that one.
