1. No idea why I'm using the cute Bjork icon the morning. I just couldn't seem to help myself.
2. Still happy about The Red Tree, A is for Alien, and "Galápagos" having all three landed on Locus Magazine's 2009 Recommended Reading List. It's always nice to know someone has noticed ( Read more... )

On the bright side, weremonkey and I love the cover and interiors of Alabaster (we have copy # L). Naifeh is a personal favorite.
Thank you. Yes. I am so very happy with the all the art Ted did for Alabaster.

I didn't realize Alabaster came in a lettered edition. Was this not advertised or was I not paying attention?
You know...now I am very fucking confused. The copy on my shelf is from the numbered edition, and Spooky can't recall, either. But if someone says they have "L"....
I'm going to look into this.

I think we have some in storage. We auctioned one, with a doll, back in Dec. 2006.

What about A is for Alien or To Charles Fort, with Love? May I ask why those did not get the lettered edition treatment? I'm just curious, now that I think about it.

Ted did a great job. His visual treatment is one of the reasons that I think the book could actually help sell a screenplay-that and the fact that it’s such a short book. I admit it’s only a slight edge, but it’s, you know, an edge. (Okay. I’ll shut up about it now.)
I’m reading The Red Tree (finally), and I keep wondering, “Where is Sarah’s witchy tramp stamp?”

The woman on the cover was actually meant to be Constance, though it really looks like neither of them.

Is Constance the one with the tattoo then? I haven’t gotten to that part yet...
Joking aside, I am liking the book. The narrative is making me rethink my approach to the book I’m working on. When you started writing The Red Tree, did you begin with the fictional editor’s preface, or did you write that later? I guess what I’m asking is, did you have an agenda when you wrote the preface, and did you always know you were going to write it? Did the book fit the preface or the other way around?

Yes...and you would have thought they'd taken presence of a book with an actual tattoo to go with that sort of thing.

I wrote the preface first. Then Chapter One, and so on. It's pretty much the way I always write.

Not I, said the fox. I always save stuff for later. Otherwise, I get hung up. But I figured you were going to say that.
Witchy tramp stamps are money. There is always the mass market paperback...

I know many, many good writers write books out of order. I just can't even imagine doing it that way.

It gets the very same cover. The layout has already been done.

I’m choosing to take that as encouragement.
