Wow, I’d not heard of this book until I stumbled across your blog. I’ll definitely have to add it to my “to be read” list.

Thank YOU Brian Katcher! Keep up the good work! Here’s wishing you all the success in the world, AND the opportunity to play one of your own characters!
Also, looking VERY forward to your Doc Savage drinking game!

Damn, I wish the reading public in general was as kind as you all are. Thanks for making my day.

I hope to God someday there will be a casting call for one of my books. Once, a high school student asked me who I’d liked to see cast for ‘Playing with Matches.’ That’s when I realized how out of the loop I was with teen pop culture:

“Uh, Molly Ringwald…and uh, Anthony Michael Hall…”

One things for certain, I get to play the nerdy teacher!

i cannot WAIT to read this book. And then I cannot WAIT to “accidentally” leave it laying around (with the dust cover removed so as to prevent spoiling) places in my home town. That may be my 2010 mission.

jenny, this book sounds SO GOOD! like you, i don’t read much YA written by guys, but when i do i usually love it. i can’t wait to get my new library card so i can go get it!

also, your jimmy mac urges are perfectly respectable. perfectly (although i might not be the best judge, since i keep scrolling back up to that picture and getting distracted by the same thoughts)

I LOVE the idea of me advising teenage boys! They would get all the girls! Or maybe not.
I haven’t read Playing with Matches, yet. That will soon be remedied.
