Hmm. That's funny.

Look what I read today in Publishers Weekly.

Sally Kim at Shaye Areheart Books bought world rights to Amy Shearn's How Far Is the Ocean from Here via PJ Mark at McCormick & Williams. This is the story of a surrogate mother who panics and flees Chicago for a roadside motel in the southwest, where she insinuates herself into the lives of the motel owners and their disabled teenage son. Tentative pub date is spring 2008.

Amy Shearn?
But that's... me!

What the frick?

Great header. Makes me want to scratch Q's ears. Congrats again! It must be neat and weird to see your name in with Chabon's.

I remember the the days when you used to never run into an Amy Shearn; now it seems they are everywhere, unchecked.
