A couple nights ago I said to Ted, “I have a Skype date tonight!” He said “Oh you do! With WHOM?!” “With Gabra Zackman,” said I, “the reader of my Walker Papers audio books.” Ted paused, bemused, then said, “Your life is not normal. I mean, really. That’s just not normal.” I had a *wonderful* chat with Gabra, who is charming and funny and clever, and sometime soon (maybe not until Audio Book Release Day, but maybe before then) I’ll be posting a guest blog she’s done for me about…

This part never gets old. :)
17 books in (and several anthologies & a comic), and this part never gets old. :) A particularly handsome model displays the new book. :) I’ll pick 3 random commenters to send a copy of RAVEN CALLS to.
