Beware: Bla­tant Self-Promotion Ahead!

1. Julie Prince has posted an inter­view with me about Soul Enchi­lada at YA Books Cen­tral.
2. pro­fes­sor­nana has posted the first offi­cial review of Soul Enchi­lada. Excerpt: “Bug is no damsel in dis­tress (and she would be the first to hit you upside the head for think­ing that) but she can­not win with­out some assis­tance. Enter Pesto, not a swash­buck­ling Errol Flynn, but a thought­ful com­pa­triot armed with some knowl­edge of the nether­world. El Paso and His­panic cul­ture meets West Texas hard­scrab­ble land­scape with more than a tad of humor. SOUL ENCHILADA is a tasty book.“
3. Pub­lish­ers Weekly men­tioned Bug Smoot in its Spring 2009 Sneak Pre­views
4. The novel is avail­able for pre-order from inde­pen­dents such as Books Inc. and if you have to, Ama­zon.
5. I’m tired of talk­ing about myself, so I’ll men­tion that this our last week with the boy before he goes off to col­lege.  We’re plan­ning to spend a few min­utes together play­ing Rock Band (my birth­day present from the fam­ily)  before he leaves, if he can man­age to wake up before din­ner time.
