Posthuman Blues

Well, I just blew a 90-minute spot on a revered Kansas City radio show that wanted to hype tomorrow's Barnes & Noble discussion/signing. It was my fault. I wanted pretty desperately for it to be someone else's fault, but it was mine. In short, I've been waiting for phone confirmation for an interview that had already been scheduled.

So I managed to come across as a complete flake to

a.) my publicist,

b.) my editor

and

c.) the radio host.

All in one shot.

Oh, yeah -- and the PR coordinator at B&N will probably be mad when she finds out, too.

On a better note, my free copies are finally arriving, so those of you who contributed illustrations can expect your complimentary copies soon.
