The New Year, and the new book

Hey guys, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the world's lamest blog. Sorry I never seem to update this thing worth a damn. But I turned in a rough draft of the new book, tentatively titled "The Disaster Diaries" and clocking in at 140 thousand words (which is way, way too epic). So I'm looking forward to trimming the fat, "murdering my darlings," and finishing the book. I doubt very much it will be published in 2012, though–but it might sneak in during the winter. Spring 2013 is more likely. We'll see–Penguin is a new experience for me.

Love and rockets
