The Datlow/Windling teen vampires that are profound & have literary value & can be genuinely scary YA anthology TEETH is coming this March - and already advance reviews are popping up and torturing me.  Because I hate spoilers, that's why:  I want to come all brain-virginal & pristine to new work by personal heroes like Suzy Charnas & Jeff Ford & Tanith Lee & Kathe Koja and and and..... Which is why when [livejournal.com profile] ellen_datlow  sends us links to rave reviews like this one, I have to just skim it to see if my story's  mentioned (me! me! me!) - and [livejournal.com profile] deliasherman's, too, as of course I've already read hers (through aherm several drafts).  So far, so good.

Teeth
has been selected already for the Junior Library Guild.  Who knows what honors may follow?

For those who hate Amazon,  pre-order from your nearest indy bookseller.  And for those who don't, save $ by pre-ordering at the crazy lowlow price currently on offer there pre-publication. (The same advice goes for Welcome to Bordertown, coming in May - Amazon seems to think the full cover price is $19.99, but I happen to know it's now $22.99.... so do take advantage of Am's pre-pub price of $13.49 if you can.)

I like the honesty of the (me! me! me!) - it's so very human. And it doesn't mean you think you're all that (well, maybe you do, and you wouldn't be far off!), just means you're doing appropriate social animal checking-in stuff. And *thank you* for the links and tips! :D

You're so sweet

"(me! me! me!)" is meant more to replicate the way I still jump up & down at any mention of my work anywhere by anyone . . . . what can I say? I'm aged but immature - like bad cheese. ;)

I don't know that it is "immaturity" - my sense of it is that anyone who doesn't have a little thrill of "wow, they mentioned me/my work" is a little jaded or cynical or both. So what I see is the honesty of sharing your reaction. You're a good cheese! ;D
