Congratulations on your publication! I can't wait to read it. I will be ordering a number of copies from my local bookstore in order to pass out to my friends here in Sydney, Australia.
MAN, DID I MISS YOU. I sorta unlined myself by deleting my Facebook and Myspace and (yes I still had) my Friendster pages. I was going to delete my Livejournal because I started a new blog to house all my old Myspace blogs, but then I stopped using that, too.
Grad school and a baby have really fucked up my online life. CURSES!!!
All the best :)
