I promise that if DUMB is released in your country, I'll ask that the publisher send you an ARC.<br /><br />Brian - you rock. By the way, talking of fantasy novels . . . has yours got a title yet?

I also am amazed that he paired his character with President Snow! It seems like a very unlikely match, and now it makes me even more curious about the book!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-51902401669947575902011-08-23T06:33:13.297+02:002011-08-23T06:33:13.297+02:00Thanks again for having me along, Lenore.

My daughter told me she could've done better.<br /><br />Amanda - it comes out fall 2012, not 2013. Does that help?<br /><br />Joy - thanks for giving DUMB a plug!<br /><br />Safari Poet - hope you enjoy it.<br /><br />Susie - please tell your brother to read it. That'd make my day.<br /><br />Candice - let me assure you, it has been nice to venture into dystopia. No, hold on . . . that doesn't sound right, does it?<br /><br />Em - Paint it Black is indeed an awesome song. A perfect marriage of music and lyrics. And what lyrics! You can't get much more depressing than that.<br /><br />Najela - it certainly has some anti-Last Airbender elements.

I listened to it for years (YEARS!) and never <i>really</i> listened to it, until about a month ago when I was lyric checking it for a youth radio show and WOW that's some song. Dark dark dark mixed with that upbeat musical energy - love it! Be careful about listening to that one too often, Antony! It's rather heartbreaking.Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01824878592904910941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-8256681598645852662011-08-23T02:38:59.823+02:002011-08-23T02:38:59.823+02:00I just put Thou Shalt Not Road Trip on my TBR.
