My new novel,
Next, comes out in six weeks, so those of you who drop by this on-again, off-again (mostly off-again lately) blog should brace yourself for increasingly intense bouts of self-promotion, defensiveness, and rank narcissism. I'm going to make an effort (really, truly) to write about other stuff, too, but today, I'm returning to the blogosphere to shamelessly tout the book.
Starting with
Shelf Awareness, a daily website for the book business, which is devoting
today's issue to the launch of
Reagan Arthur Books, my new publisher. Reagan is my once-and-future publisher, actually, since she not only edited
Next, but
The Lecturer's Tale as well, back when she and I were both at Picador. Since then, she has become (in the words of
Gawker) a "
rock star editor" at Little, Brown, publishing critically acclaimed and bestselling novels by Joshua Ferris, Elizabeth Kostova, Kate Atkinson, Denise Mina, George Pelecanos, and others. And now, for reasons that passeth understanding, she's publishing me again. Anyway, check out
Friday's Shelf Awareness for news about all of the imprint's new releases, some lovely photos and interviews with Reagan and her talented team, and some
smart-alecky answers from me to the site's Book Brahmin questions.
And if you go
here, you can read the recent
Publishers Weekly review of
Next, wherein I dodge a bullet. So far, so good.
