I’ve been in Northern California and Oregon for the last ten days, and I promise to post my own version of a photoblog upon my return late Sunday night/Monday. Instead of going to Burning Man this year, I’ve seen redwoods, mountains and a K-9, but that’s a story for another time (and yes, it has a happy ending).

Anyway, while I’ve been gone, one of the editors at Seal posted this about my book!

The release date is near!!! Have you been masturbating?

Blue. On the Bed. Summer 2007. (I just love this pic so I thought I’d share).
