So I was on Amazon for an entirely different reason (I promise) and noticed that they’ve got Still Sucks to Be Me listed now! It’s not out until May 11th and they’ve got the title slightly wrong, but Woot! all the same. And apparently you can pre-order it! I think at least one person already has since the book has a ranking (I’m pretty sure you don’t get a ranking until at least one copy has been ordered). So that is total and utter coolness.

In bookish news, my editor went back and forth with me one more time with some teeny little changes, but I think it is finally all done. Whew. I now honestly have more sympathy about finding typos in books. They’ve always bugged me but it’s amazing to me now that no matter how many times you (or your editor or the copyeditor) go over a book, you always find something. I hope nothing made it through, but if you find a typo when you read it, I’M SORRY! I SUCK! I DID MY BEST!

In other related news, we had a photo shoot this past weekend and I should have a new official author photo coming soon. Which is good considering my last author photo? Um, totally me long-arming the camera all by myself and snapping a picture. This time there were PROFESSIONALS involved (the Souder Photography folks, to be exact).

Am really excited to see the photos of The Max, honestly. He’s way cuter than I am.

Random Still Sucks to Be Me tidbit of the day: the name of a teacher and the principal in the book are the names of one of my favorite teachers of all time (Jennifer McCoy, now McNeal) and the vice-principal (Mr. Fleming) from where I went to high school in 11th and 12th grade.
