Indeed, it's true. I've joined the revolution. Blogger and Blogspot were getting freaky, so we've upgraded my blog to Wordpress.

The Czechs Strike Back!
Good news from overseas today. My Czech publisher BBArt has bought Plague Zone, which can be interpreted to mean their edition of Plague Year ("Rok Pandemie") is doing well, which is no wonder. Look at love they're giving this book! 
You have to click on the image and enlarge it to truly appreciate the line-up, but, first of all, they've got the book in their catalogues as a mainstream thriller, a decision of which I greatly approve. Secondly, what excellent company to keep! Cussler, Koontz, Carlson, Rollins. Bwah ha ha ha. Wow. If all of my publishers were so tantalizingly tasty, I'd be a gazillionaire.

Entirely Gratuitous Book Porn Retrospective
No, not porno books... Book porn! For people who love books! It's an entirely different thing, man. ;)
I've had a pile of these pix sitting on my desktop since December and January and it's time to clean 'em up. Meanwhile, I've gotta say, it's stuff like this that warms my heart during those long lonely days at my laptop. Go, Penguin.

Single Joke Friday
My dad is 66 and buys his own shoes, but apparently the dad in this story saw a little harder living than mine:
I took my Dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes (he is 66). We decided to grab a bite at the food court.
I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him.
The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors - green, red, orange, and blue. My dad kept staring at her. The teenager kept looking and would find my Dad staring every time. When the teenager had had enough, she sarcastically asked: “What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?”
In classic style he responded without batting an eyelid: “Got stoned once and screwed a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my daughter."
Classy, right? :)
