Now in Newsweek!

[Ski Diva]

Hope this is okay to post this, mods, but I can't help myself from bragging....

My husband has a debut novel coming out next week, and it's reviewed in this week's (Feb. 19) issue of Newsweek! You can see it on line at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17080797/site/newsweek/.

The book is called Finn, and it's being published by Random House. In stores Feb. 20.

It also got three bunny heads in the March issue of Playboy (yes, I know -- everyone reads Playboy for the book reviews!), and it's going to be reviewed in People and Entertainment Weekly next week, and the NY Times Book Review, sometime soon. And it's Barnes & Noble's on-line book club pick for March

Here's the book's web site: http://www.readfinn.com.

I'll stop now.

COngrats to him- sounds like an interesting read. Sort of a "Wicked"-ing of Huck Finn.

But much, much better.

Picture William Faulkner meets Cormac McCarthy.

Very dark, very brutal, but beautifully done.

Can you tell I'm proud?

"Midnight on the Water" is one of my all time favorite tunes. Now I have to buy the book.

More great coverage -- the front page of the LIFE section in today's USA Today. A glowing review, too!

Because she's a regular, contributing member. It's also more of bragging than trying to sell stuff, although I'm sure she hopes this post will result in a few extra sales.

Sorry, guys -- I truly did not intend all this to come across as spamming! That's why in my first post I addressed the mods, to ask if this was okay.

It's just that this is so once in a lifetime that I had to post about it.

I'm just excited. Hope you understand.

Don't worry about it. DMC's just campaigning for equal rights. Or something.
