snurriWhoa! The book is up on Amazon UK! The date is wrong, and stuff, but hey. GO RIGHT AHEAD AND ORDER.
It's also up on Amazon Japan, which I cannot explain.
Product of random phrase googling: Anti-American Taiwanese Children's Rhymes.
I would hire this attorney.

Hungry for knowledge in any internet forum, you demand decorum. Any off-topic remarks, absurd statements, or tomfoolery on the interweb is deeply frowned upon by you. Truth has no room for drollery.

You should note that the evil-eyed dragon hasn't forgotten and is still staring at you.

Date: 2007-07-17 06:40 pm (UTC)So here's a question for you, since I feel relatively new to your blog: did you watch the first season of Heroes, and if so, what are your thoughts on it, since you're also writing about superheroes that, according to the Amazon.uk blurb, may very well stop a tragedy?

Date: 2007-07-17 06:58 pm (UTC)To answer your main question, though, I haven't really watched Heroes, although I've heard good things about it. I may check it out on DVD when it's available. When I found out that show was coming out, I was sort of worried about overlap, since there are some superficial similarities with the premise, at least. (I fully expect that someone is going to accuse me of ripping off the series, even though I wrote the book four years before it appeared.) So I didn't watch it from the beginning, and I didn't want to pick it up halfway through.

Date: 2007-07-17 07:19 pm (UTC)To be perfectly honest, I never watched Heroes either, simply because it was too similar in my mind to existing shows (like The 4400) and comics (Rising Stars and X-Men come to mind). I might watch it one day, but I want to see where the series goes in the eyes of its fans, and if it trully lives up to its first-season hype.
But one good thing about it, when your book comes out, you can have interesting discussions about when you got the idea for your novel, when you started working on it, when you sold it, etc., and how that compares to the concepts of televisions shows and their production.

Sure, you deserve one. You helped popularized lolcats from a running gag to an online sensation. Now mainstream media writes asinine columns on this 'phenomenon', students write theses on the topic, programming languages adopt the grammar, and losers write tests about them on dating sites. Now take your cheezburger and never touch the internets again.

Calloused. Heartless. Exuberant. You carry the heavy burden of informing children that they are adopted by jumping out of their birthday cake. A difficult task, but somebody must break the news to children on their only day of happiness.
