About me:

I'm an author of teen and adult books. My first novel, A Red Polka Dot In A World Full of Plaid, was published by Genesis Press in 2005. My next novel, My Life As A Rhombus, will be published by ..Flux/Llewellyn.. in Jan 2008. Check out my website if you'd like to find out more about me or my books.

FYI -- I know the cover of the book features a girl, but I'm a dude.

Hi there!
My debut novel, The Cuckoo Parchment and the Dyke, has just launched. If you get a chance I'd be grateful if you'd go to my profile to find out more. The story's about Dada, art and artists, and the attempt to instigate revolution by means of art.
Thanks and take care,
Michael

Thanks so much for adding me. It's great to connect with other people - especially other writers -- who know that fiction is as important to "real life" as, well, real life.
