I’m on page 134 of this week’s Publisher’s Weekly! woot! right at the top, under Orchard Books…There I am, along with my sister (and brother) authors, Mark Teague, Sam Llewellyn (whose book, Lyonesse, I am DYING to read), Lisa McCourt & Laura J. Bryant, and Marion Dane Bauer & Ivan Bates.
ok…fine…so it’s not the New York Times. But baby steps, people. Yay! For those of you who are not PW subscribers and still want to be in the know about my fabulous publishing siblings, click here or just read:

Hi Sarah! Congratulations on your novel being published. I am reading your blog which is wonderful in your love for words and thoughts having found it from Smithblogs. I am working on a book about a philosophical basis for understanding economics, which sounds boring but isn’t at all. I can be revolutionary. I’ve had my theory judged to high reviews from some professors and political leaders. I am wondering if you wrote your novel before it was published or if you were able to get backing while working on it. I work full time and can’t take off work to devote myself full-time which I’m dying to do. My e-mail is riksapricot@yahoo.com if you would care to answer please. I understand the temptations of not finding the muse but you know our minds are always working on what’s important to us, though we are engaged or disengaged with other things or distractions. I always find that philosophical ideas are projected and discover connections in daily events and conversations or other displays of common culture. Good Luck. Ian
