Blurbage
In an effort to stave off crankiness today, I am going to post nice things that awesome people have said about my novel, Superpowers, which I may have mentioned here once or twice. These are up at the book's Amazon page, so I'm pretty sure it's OK to post them here:
"A book for everyone who's ever wondered what superpower would be most fun or whether Batman or Superman would win in a fight. (And for everyone else who's ever wondered what made comic books so much fun.) David J. Schwartz has written a first novel with superpowers, smarts, and heart to spare. If you'll forgive a lame pun in the service of a swell book: Bookstore patrons, online browsers--may the Schwartz be with you."
— Kelly Link, author of Stranger Things Happen and Magic for Beginners
"A thoughtful and convincing blend of magic and realism. I believed in these ordinary, recognizable college students with their extraordinary abilities. As their powers change and fail them (and vice versa), Superpowers tells us a story both soaring and sober."
— Karen Joy Fowler, New York Times bestselling author of The Jane Austen Book Club and Wit's End
Forgive the bolding. I thought about posting these in 72-point type, but I thought people might protest.
In recent weeks both Kelly and Karen have visited the Twin Cities (Karen was here just Monday promoting Wit's End, which I can't wait to read), which was good because since I'm a little in awe of them both it was hard to believe that they really said these things about my little book. Which I am hugely proud of, but come on. I could die happy now. (I would, of course, die happier if everyone on the Internet pre-ordered a copy of the book. WELL?)

I am tired of waiting, too. Although it is only two months away now! That will probably be over in the blink of an eye.
