Thanks to the incomparable Sefi Atta for recommending The Book of Dead Birds over at Moorish Girl! My books were mentioned at Cupcake a few days ago, too. I love both of these blogs, so it's a real treat to see my name over there.

I mentioned my discomfort with using the word "bitch" the other day; now the New York Times weighs in on the current cultural state of the word.

I can happily say "bitch" outloud when referring to Martha O'Connor's novel, The Bitch Posse. It comes out in May and it is fierce! An amazing, amazing book. It's going to take the world by storm, I know it.
