Thanks, Miriam. Yes, the RSS feed changed — I had a link at the top of my home page for the first month, but since then have taken it down. I couldn’t find any way to put a forward notice on my old RSS feed.

I recognize that pedicab! I pass it every day on the way to work. It makes me sad that no one seems to cover it up when it’s raining.

By the way, I think something changed with the RSS feed when you updated your layout. I only noticed you’d updated again when I followed the link from your latest AfterEllen column. I don’t know how many other people read your blog mainly via RSS, but they might be missing out.

Yes, I was really troubled by #amazonfail over the weekend. I truly hope that their explanation is correct (and that they will issue an apology). Unfortunately, that doesn’t change the fact that getting your book on Amazon still is a big step in the life of an about-to-be-published author, so I’m leaving my post as is. But I definitely advocate buying books from your local independent bookseller instead. I always do! In San Francisco, I love to visit Book Passage, Books Inc., A Different Light (in the Castro) and Borderlands (in the Mission). You can find your local indie by going to http://www.indiebound.org.

I hope you are aware of the censorship issue regarding Amazon’s recent discriminatory practices against LGBT books, and their failure to do more than claim it is a glitch or a “ham-fisted cataloging error” or “mistake.” http://www.edrants.com/amazonfail-a-call-to-boycott-amazon/

Thank you so much for adding the book to your cart! Yay! And I was meaning to take more photos of hills, but that would have involved climbing to the top to getting the most dramatic shots, and I was running late. I will do that next time.

Kim, thanks for stopping by my site! I am so glad you are enjoying ASH so far. I would have loved to be at TLA this year — fingers crossed for next year. I will be at ALA in Chicago though. If you are there and you see me, say hi!

Congrats on getting Ash on Amazon!

I am almost half finished with reading Ash and am enjoying it immensely. I was very excited when I was able to pick up an advanced copy at the recent Texas Library Association conference. Lots of authors come to the conference every year, I hope you will find your way there next year.

Added Ash to my Cart now!
WooHoo!
I visited the US with my parents when I was 8 to do the west coast holiday thing and for me the best part of the trip wasn’t Disneyland or Universal Studios or any of the other “touristy things”, it was simply the city of San Francisco.
The fog, the hills, trams, architecture all captured my imagaination more than anything at Disneyland (except maybe for the Its A Small World Exhibit-but I’ve always had a thing for Mary Blair’s work).
Love the poster by the way.

Thanks Susan! I am a little nervous about reviews, but that’s to be expected.
