Hey, guess what? My “sequel” sentence was chosen for inclusion in BOOK; The Sequel, which was edited, printed, and distributed at the Book Expo in May in record time. Here’s one review:
“A truly unique exercise in its creation (in 48 hours from manuscript submission to finished book!), that also turns out to be a hilarious read!”

You’ll have to buy it to see my contribution — but let’s just say that “It’s a truth universally acknowledged that a writer of good imagination will come up with a funny sequel…” Actually, you can read the entire book online — and you can find my sentence on page 78, which comes out as page 88 online. Check it out!

oh how totally cool!!!! kudos and congrats!!!!

Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool, too!
I just tossed off my sequel opening sentence for fun, and was surprised to discover that they picked me.
