Once you have a book out, everyone from strangers to relatives suggest that you should go on Oprah to promote it. In fact, there’s even a hilarious video about a guy whose friend calls and suggests it, but I can’t find the link anywhere (if you have it, please leave it in the comments!). I’m still waiting for the first person to suggest it to me so I can give them their t-shirt…you know the one that says “marketing genius” on it. I understand from other writers it will probably happen once the book is actually out.

Now I’m not saying that if Oprah’s producers called I’d let them go to voicemail, but honestly…I’m holding out for Colbert. He is so hilarious! I’m sure he’d love to take me down a few notches for writing a book set in such a dystopian future too.

It could happen, you know. Him having me on the show. After all he’s had at least two children’s book authors on The Colbert Report. Sherman Alexie was on it last year and last night, Neil Gaiman. It looked like such fun! Where do I sign up? Oh, yeah…I have to do those edits that came in the mail first, don’t I? Back to work!
