Thanks to both of you for a great post! <br /><br />(And as someone who has either attended or worked for or had her husband work for several small colleges in the Philadelphia suburbs, I'm dying to know which one this is.)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07226691769768760275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-32810718068365311172010-07-09T16:10:50.712-04:002010-07-09T16:10:50.712-04:00If Finny is as amusing to read as your post, I wil...If <em>Finny</em> is as amusing to read as your post, I will be in a very good mood after I finish. Faking a groin injury to get out of Trivial Pursuit was hilarious to me! That's at the very beginning; so you know I was chuckling throughout the entire post. <em>Finny</em> is on my reading list, too.

I'm delighted to finally be sharing this book with readers, after having it in my head for so long. (You start to feel a little crazy when you're laughing at people whom no one else can see.)<br /><br />Julie, I really appreciate what you said about the book.<br /><br />Molly, thanks so much, it's true that I always have all these good intentions as a writer, and then I have to kind of weed through them to get to what I really want to say.<br /><br />Jenn, thanks, and I'm glad you're still looking forward to the book after reading my silly rant.<br /><br />Sheila, I also love coming-of-age novels, and writing FINNY really came out of wanting to capture the feeling of enchantment I had from some of my favorite books, but maybe with a slightly different twist.<br /><br />Bermuda Onion, also was great to meet you at the BBC, and I hope we'll cross paths again soon. Thanks so much for the good wishes about FINNY.<br /><br />Jennifer, I'm so glad you enjoyed the trailer. It was fun making it.<br /><br />Wisteria, so nice to hear from you, and I'm glad that others share my sick sense of humor.<br /><br />Sandy, thanks for your note. If anything, I think that maybe I'm God's gift to awkward social situations.
