David, Jeff & Paul,
Thanks for participating on Babel Clash. It’s been a fun conversation. Before you go, please take this opportunity to share with your potential new fans why your books are must-reads for this holiday season.
Good luck with the in-store event tonight. Please let us all know how the event goes.
Fans, if you’re in the Boston area, please be sure to check out the live event. As Jeff mentions below, they will be at the Borders on Boylston St. @ 7:00 (Friday, the 20th).

The first novel in the brilliant new Newsflesh trilogy--about an America shattered by a terrible pandemic, and a race for the White House that no one may survive.

Event had excellent attendance, a lovely audience, and John and the rest of the Borders staff were great. Thanks again for the opportunity here. As for why buy Finch…if you like fantasy but you also like exciting spy thrillers with noir elements…hey, Finch is that book, this year. Watch for the Washington Post review later this month as well as national NPR coverage. Thanks again, Morgan.

The event was a lot of fun. As Jeff said, a great and attentive audience, John and the staff were amazingly gracious hosts. Thanks so much for having us.
Why to buy The Little Sleep:
Love him or hate him, I humbly submit that Mark Genevich is unlike any other character you might meet this year. While there are no speculative fiction elements in the novel per se, I do think fans of genre fic would dig the surreal aspect of the novel (dreams vs. reality), and the theme of the malleability of memory, identity, and reality is a big part of the book as well. Plus there’s noir and clown pants. And come on, it’s got a yellow cover. A yellow cover!
Thank you, Morgan!
