My Communications Book...

...that one for young adults I was fretting about writing all last winter? It won't be released until 2012, but its first review is in.


And it's a good one:
"Acting as a perfect companion to that film The Social Network ... this book is bound to make adults everywhere feel roughly 10 million years old. That’s right, kids! People used to meet in placed called “coffee houses” and “church groups”."

Whew.
I lost all perspective on this book long ago, so I'm relieved I hit the note I wanted to hit.

This topic is of interest to many people. Do you get a cut of sales if it takes off?

So wonderful! A review!! A good one, too. Congratulations! (I haven't peppered a comment with exclamation points in forever, and it was fun; hope you don't mind.) :o)

POODLE: Thanks! Since this is the first book published that really feels like mine (the geography books, while I loved working on them, were too prescripted to feel truly mine), it feels really special to see my name on it.

LILL: I do get royalties, but such a small %, it'd have to be a big best-seller before they'd add up to much.
The topic is of general interest, but the publisher sells mostly to school libraries, so it's unlikely it'd really take off.

DEANNA!!! I am a BIG fan of exclamation points!
