I'm happy to announce the publication of a new e-book of 21 short shorts, accompanied by illustrations from the great and peculiar Lou Beach. The book is called The Great Zombini and can be purchased anywhere that e-books are sold, including Amazon.com. In other e-book news, Dzanc Books will soon be bringing out electronic editions of my first three out-of-print novels...and we are hard at work on a complete and unabridged e-book edition of Happyland! This will be its first time in print as a full book; I will keep you posted.

CBS's UNFORGETTABLE premieres September 20! Unforgettable, the new CBS police procedural based on a short story of mine, premieres September 20. It will air Tuesday nights at 10 eastern, and stars Poppy Montgomery as an NYPD detective who is blessed (and cursed) with the ability to remember everything. Dylan Walsh co-stars.

My talk from the 2011 Colgate Writers' Conference, "The Shape Of The Novel," is now available to watch on YouTube; my reading (of the short story "Weber's Head," soon to be anthologized in the new Best American Nonrequired Reading) with the amazing Dana Spiotta is also up and ready to watch. Both can be seen on the video page.

Finally, I am doing a little low-grade public microblogging on Google+. Permalink at right. Feel free to stop by and comment.
