Just belly-flopping into the ol’ blog here to splash you with a few drops of chlorinated update-water: first up, I’m doing a Reddit AMA today. Right now, in fact. Go there. Ask questions<\/a>. I’ll be hanging out, A’ing your Q’s.<\/p>\n

Second,\u00a0Dust & Grim\u00a0<\/strong>received a starred review<\/a> (!) from Kirkus (!!):<\/p>\n

“Chills and thrills ensue when long-separated siblings find themselves custodians of a very special funeral home and cemetery…\u00a0not only is Wendig a dab hand at concocting extremely creepy critters, but here he also pulls together a secondary cast of quarrelsome but supportive allies for the beleaguered teens, featuring a (generally) low-key vampire, a mercurial fox spirit (\u201cCat software loaded onto dog hardware,\u201d as one observer puts it), and other slyly tweaked supernatural grown-ups.”<\/p>\n

Tomorrow night, I’m chatting virtually with Kiersten White at Boswell Books<\/a>! And the final virtual event of the TBOA tour is getting to hang out with Cassandra Khaw<\/a> at Powell’s on Thursday night. Come hang out, too! One event! Two events! Go back in time and do the other events! I don’t know! Where are my pants!<\/p>\n

The book continues to be in the Top 100 at B&N, btw. Signed copies still available there<\/a>. And available too at the other bookstores I visited and will visit virtually. And I can still do personalized copies through Doylestown Bookshop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, a reminder that The Book of Accidents is an August Indie Next pick<\/a>! Woo!<\/p>\n

THAT IS ALL<\/p>\n
