"Auralia’s Colors" … pre-order!

Imagine my surprise when someone alerted me to the fact that you can pre-order my novel, Auralia’s Colors, at this Random House website!

What a week. The first box of copies of Through a Screen Darkly will arrive mid-week on my doorstep, and in bookstores on February 5th. I’ve just seen a draft of the cover art for Auralia’s Colors. And now, we have a definite release date and a pre-order page for that book as well. My head is spinning.

Happy New Year, indeed!

Meanwhile, I’m buried in some fine-tuning work on Auralia’s Colors, preparing this week’s Film Forum, and seeing one more film… Old Joy… before posting my Top 25 of 2006.
