Linkage, Schminkage

Not long now.

This is just a brief update to let you know about various things that have popped up on the web, if you missed my incessant tweets and facebook updates over the past few days.

Publication isn't officially until Tuesday, but the book has already been spotted in the wild.  This is in Freeport, Maine:

A GOOD AMERICAN was named as one of amazon's Best Books for February.

Here is an interview I did with Nicole from the excellent book blog Linus's Blanket – I only answered six of the twenty questions she sent me, and everyone should probably be grateful for that.

Also, a smart and funny review by Amanda Nelson of the Dead White Guys blog.

And this review appeared online yesterday at the Kansas City Star.  Not sure when it will appear in the paper edition.

Talking of paper editions, Columbia, MO residents be warned: there'll be an interview with me in the Sunday edition of the Columbia Tribune.

And speaking of Columbia residents, if you have nothing better to do next Tuesday, please consider coming to Barnes & Noble at the Mall at 7 p.m. to help me launch A GOOD AMERICAN out into the world.  I'll be giving a small talk about the book and reading an extract.  I'd love to see you there, before I set off on my travels later in the week.

Not sure how much blogging will get done in the forthcoming days and weeks.  I'll do my best to keep this updated as and when I can.  In the meantime, thank you ALL for reading, your comments, and your support.  It means the world to me.
