I received some good news today. Un-Brella, my first picture book is being reprinted this week. It is so nice that it has found a niche in the crowded market. The book was first published in April 2007 and so it has taken just over a year for it to sell out the first printing.
Now thanks to Lookybook you can read it right now. Thank you for looking. Have a great day

It is also good to hear you are feeling positive, and sending book ideas out. Keep up the daily walks, I hear it is a good way to clear the mind for story ideas too!
That is awesome! Except I don't need Lookybook! I've got a copy right here in my living room. Can't wait for Char to appreciate it. Are you still in Utah? If so, for how long? Would love to come visit.
I know. Get a life. But seriously. I just read Great News online.
This news makes me happy. Gleeful. Bordering on ecstatic.
Comedian Lewis Black is getting his own show!
Coming to COMEDY CENTRAL on March 12th. What sounds like one of the wackiest premises to come along since Mork moved into Mindy's hometown: a plaintiff vs defendant courtroom-like challenge, wherein Black presides over debates to decide the greater of two evils. Hot button controversies lined up for this show include American Idol vs High School Musical, Paris Hilton vs Dick Cheney, etc. I love it.
The show is "The Root of All Evil" and it may be just what Lewis needs to become the break out star he almost is.
It may bomb. It takes a while for funny people to find their place. They make great sidekicks. They make great "best friends." But it's tricky when the star IS the Funny One.
SEINFELD knew best: he was funny but he surrounded himself with friends that were even funnier.
CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM is hysterical because the comedy is brilliant. And Larry David isn't being funny. He's being Larry David-ish.
LUCILLE BALL was in a class by herself. We loved her because her wit was always a vehicle to a destination. Her antics kept the Ricardos from falling apart.
MARY TYLER MOORE was a brilliantly funny show. Mary on her own was white bread. But her family of news colleagues made me laugh like nothing else could.
I love Lewis Black. Smart, funny, a mirror of my frustrations and angst. I hope this show is as great as his talents.
Here's Black doing his best Chris Crocker "Leave Britney Alone" sendoff. Just think what this could do for Huckabee!
p.s. Happy 2/26 birthday-- happy THIRTEENTH birthday-- to my baby. I love you more than...anything. Bruce included. Even though I played Bruce CDs over and over in the labor and delivery room until you finally showed up-- and showed the world your pretty and brainy face. The doctor almost dropped you. The next morning, he thought you were a boy and it took an extremely post-partum angry me to remind him who and what you are. And...we haven't stopped laughing since. {}
Good news. Way to go!
Congratulations. That must feel great to have your first book sell out. How many were in your first printing?
What a great Good News day :o)
