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! The event was a lot of fun.

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.
