A very fun radio interview to start things off here in Champaign-Urbana, with David Inge of Will Focus 580 AM. You know the cough button that mutes your mike for as long as you press it down? For reasons I would be hard-pressed to explain, I love that button.

Columnist, writer, poet, friend and fellow McSweeney's dispatcher John Griswold on the mound. Me at the plate. Here comes the heat.

A very fun interview just went up here, courtesy of Claire Zulkey. She let me talk about kids' books, Very Bad Poems, and dark chocolate. That's just win-win-win right there.

The new iteration of Nothing in the World is now available for pre-order at Dzanc. We're still tweaking the cover but it's well along already: more fantastic work by Steven Seighman. I cannot tell you how pleased I am that this book is getting a second chance at life.

Terrific news: Dzanc Books, the publisher of my upcoming collection of short stories, has taken on the re-issue of Nothing in the World as well. I simply couldn't be more pleased. It's part of a deal through which Dzanc will do my next two books as well, a novel for 2009 and another collection for 2010. Exactly what I've been hoping for ever since Bullfight Media went under. Marvelous, marvelous.
