"She put [the money] in my bag, and I said thank you to her before I turned around and went out the door." Sandra Bathke robs banks like her mother taught her: politely and with a thing from her purse.
You couldnt write fiction this well.

Click to embiggen, the photo is bad ass.
Seriously bad ass. I don't want to rip off Whip It, but I'm finding it increasingly difficult not to include Roller Derby in the next book. It's just a fantastic sport.

Chip Kidd Discusses the Book Jacket for Haruki Murakami's Forthcoming Novel 1Q84
Upon reading the manuscript, it soon occurred to me that the duality of Aomame's situation could be represented by an interaction of the book's jacket with the binding/cover underneath. By using a semi-transparent vellum for the jacket, and printing the woman's image in a positive/negative scheme with the title on the outside layer and the rest of her on the binding, once the jacket is wrapped around the book it 'completes' the picture of her face. But something odd is definitely going on, and before the reader even reads a word, he or she is forced to consider the idea of someone going from one plane of existence to another.
Everything should be as well thought out as Murakami covers.

My outline for Texas Tornado is out of focus, incomplete, and replete with logical and dramatic problems from the get go.
It's going to be a big hit with the kids.
