The first review of my book, Knockemstiff, comes out tomorrow, 11-19-07, in Publishers Weekly. My agent’s already sent me a copy of it, so I’m past the nervous, getting sick, stage. All in all, it’s a pretty good review. I know there will be some bad ones in the next couple of months, but it was nice to start off on a good note.

I wanted to be the first blogger to congratulate you on writing a great book. Good luck, although I don’t think you’re going to need it. 🙂
Thanks for the first steely-eyed, thought-provoking piece I’ve read in the NYTimes in weeks. No, months. Good for you.
Look forward to future posts and more stories.

Don, you’ve got a great website!
I really enjoyed your piece in the NYT yesterday.
Have a good break.
