The pink cover is quite distinctive :)<br /><br />I actually figured out who you were when you had your New York Times article published in 2011; I simply researched who had written an essay in the NYT in the days before you posted about it.<br /><br />I missed your blog when you weren't here for a year or so and I'll miss it again. <br /><br />You're going to be so busy promoting the book. Enjoy the ride!<br /><br />Congrats on your book deal and I hope it sells very well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703861414547309188.post-9451874974188797782014-11-09T13:29:57.287-05:002014-11-09T13:29:57.287-05:00Somehow methinks this blog will not die.

In fact, we have never met, just emailed around LROD. The blurb came out of a Twitter exchange with @writerrejected. He is a good guy. Also, you should read Half A Life, his memoir.
