News on the new bewk:

• Looks like it will be Kindled, a thing a lot of people wanted to know.

• Lots of interviews & stuff lined up. I’ll post a full schedule when I’ve got them all fitted into my calendar.

• C-SPAN Book TV will be filming the October 5 event at Book Revue here in Huntington, Long Island. It’s not a live filming & I don’t know when air time will be, but I’ll find out. (C-SPAN seems to post ‘em all online now anyway.) This, by the way, should be a fun event. The format is a Q&A with Alan Colmes — a bit scary from where I sit, as Alan is a lot quicker-witted than I am, so it may come down to him lobbing lethal darts across the table while I mumble incoherent responses. All in a good cause, though (viz. the Nellie & Danny Derbyshire college fund) so if you live near Huntington, or can get here by 6 p.m. on Monday October 5, come along & watch me plod doggedly into the machine-gun fire in best British tradition.

• No, I totally have no idea why Amazon chose to pair WAD with Happy at Work, Happy at Home: The Girl’s Guide to Being a Working Mom. Some subversive feminist plot, would be my best guess.
