An Authorial Shout-Out

Lookee lookee! I get a mention on Frances Hardinge's blog! Editor Michael Stearns (editor of this week's Hot Man, by the way) mentions that I was "rumored" to be there, though I never met him. Remember what I said about my being shy? I saw him there but couldn't get up the nerve to ask whether or not he was the same Michael Stearns who wrote me a nice e-mail a time back. Hey, this is New York City after all! There are lots of guys here with the first name of "Michael" and the last name of "Stearns". You can't just go barging up to ALL of them!
