Book Clubs -- why not use Skype?
I'm happy to meet faraway book clubs via Skype. It's fun and free and all you need is a computer with a webcam. Think about it!

Article about book clubs
A nice article in the Philadelphia Inquirer about me and Josh Henkin visiting book groups.
When the book comes out in paperback, I hope to do more and more of these in 2009.

New Novel Loved!!
Well, the highlight of this past week was having a terrific conference call with my UK editor and my agent about my new novel.
Everyone loves the premise and the writing -- just sprucing it up a little bit more with their great, insightful suggestions.
I'm so inspired after those kinds of calls I could light up the tree at Rock Center. And what writer doesn't like being reminded they are the new Anita Shreve? Oy, if only I had as many readers, right? ( Let's just say it again -- Book clubs, if you liked The Pilot's Wife, you'll love my current novel, Standing Still. And since you're wondering, the new novel will be called The Bird House, at least in the UK.)

Hispanic Hero?
Something that has been coming up recently is how much some people enjoy the activism in STANDING STILL -- shining the spotlight on the problems of illegal immigrants and the workers in Mexican slums. Some Hispanic readers view the kidnapper as I do -- as a rebel hero. Unfortunately, I don't think the book is available in Spanish!
