Finally, big congrats to Moonlight Ambulette, who has produced a Moonlight Ambulino, the latest member of Litblogs: The Next Generation. Congratulations, Amy, she's a peach, and we dare you to name the next one Flannery.

a) "Pieces For The Left Hand" is great. I bought the UK edition and have given several as gifts to pals. As I don't have an MFA I feel okay about raving about the book.
b) I would love to go to any of these readings but am much too far away. Annoying.
c) What's this baby called then? Also, in a few weeks time (not now, deffo not now) I'd recommend Rachel Cusks's great book about having a baby called, "A Life's Work". It makes you feel less mental, or at least one of a band of mental new mothers which is actually better.
The Mini-Moonlighter is called Harper. And thanks, Zoe! If getting an MFA will prevent you from saying I am awesome, don't get one.
Ooh Harper, I like that.
The fact that I wouldn't be able to lord it about town going on about great writers is precisely what put me off getting an MFA. That and the ridiculous cost, obviously.
Dagnabbit, JRL! I'm not going to be around the Greater Boston Area when you're at Newtonville Books.
I'd love to have seen you.
cheers,
EMcC
woo hoo! Congrats on birth of two new books!

Thanks, Shauna--it's going to take months to get my brain back into shape after having twins...
...sorry I will miss you, McC, it's been too long! Send your neighbors to Newton for me though, I don't know too many Bostoners...
hip hip horray!
Looking for more by the author of "Pieces for the Left Hand" was how I got into this whole blog scene, and what a scene it is! Thanks for making the trek out to Seattle and Portland; we'll see you at Elliot Bay on the 30th. Best wishes for a good tour.

Excellent, see you there, Lisa...
Woot! The bookstore just called to say that my copy of "Cradle" just arrived.
Someone at Graywolf sent me both of your books and I love them, JRL! And I can't tell you how thrilled I am to see that you're coming to Portland. (Your reading is at 7:30, by the way, at the main store on Burnside--I looked on Powell's web site.) That night happens to be my son's fifth birthday, but we'll do our celebrations and he'll go off to bed and I'll go off to your reading. It will be great to see you after all these years. Let's go have a drink afterwards, if you're up to it. I couldn't find you on FB anymore--but email me if you want to make a date. I'll spread the word around Portland too. Congrats!
My email address is cstrayed@earthlink.net by the way.
