Yes, but will it fly?
Wednesday, October 28, 2009 Publishers Weekly just ran a blurb about my new book. Always good to get a mention in the same publication that had previously extracted my spleen and roasted it on a spit. Here's what the good folks at PW had to say this time:
In what agent Kristin Nelson called a “sizable deal,” she sold North American rights to Jamie Ford's sophomore novel, Whispers of a Thunder God, to his editor at Random House, Jane von Mehren. Ford's first book, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, hit the Times hardcover list and, according to Nelson, has more than 250,000 copies in print. Whispers, which RH is planning to release in January 2011, follows an 18-year-old Japanese student who is sent back to his native country following the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Funny that they didn't call it what it is--a kamikaze love story. Stay tuned.
