oooh, fantastic! I love it when you get obsessed about things. Can't wait to see new fiction from you. First Second creates a really quality product and they're great folks. PS: Enjoy their offices while you can, the Flatiron Bldg. is up for sale.

Aww.

Well, so long as they take all the humans with them, they'd be a great company wherever they end up.

They totally will be. It's great to see a publisher get it RIGHT - and I'm glad you're working with them.

Sounds great!

I actually live a few blocks away from the Flatiron building, so I see it all the time, but it's still awesome. =)

IIRC, wasn't the Flatiron used as "The Daily Bugle" in the Spiderman movies?

Congratulations, Scott!

And the book news is cool, too.

Okay, so when I asked you what the graphic novel is about, you grinned and said, "About 300 - 400 pages." Smartass.

So, what's the nonfiction book going to be about?

*heh*

Yeah, I'm playing this pretty close to the vest for a while (despite having privately worked out the story in great detail already).

I can, however, tell you that the story takes place in New York in the present day, is fairly operatic, and has a fair amount to say about life, art and love. And yeah, up to 400 pages, hence the extended production timeframe.

Cool! I can't wait to read it :-)
