Though I've been publishing on and off since highschool, I feel very excited about this piece.
I think it's partly because I might get real live bookstores to carry it -- rushthatspeaks, can you help out here?--and partly because I might be doing a reading in the Boston/Somerville area (hopefully with [livejournal.com profile] watermelontail, whom I finally met at Readercon), but mostly because it has illustrations. In my head, that somehow means it's a 'real book.'

I don't know if the illustrations give life to the words, or the words give life to the illustrations--I suspect it the latter, knowing my head and its mechanisims--but that's the clincher, for me. Many of the books I read, the best ones, had incidental pictures. Rackham, other turn-of-the-last-century illustrators--and simple cover pictures could evoke the whole story within, and the worlds and people I knew were lurking, made of words.

And these pictures are brilliant--watercolors. They look gorgeous. I'm so excited.

(Also, it's nice to have a story I can finally give to my parents which isn't too dark, or too lesbian, or both).
