My co-author Charon says:

We’re about to go over it with one last edit and get rid of that typo before I record the audiobook, so this is your last chance to get the Special Imperfect First Edition (which may be a collectable someday, you never know).

Sally and I are working hard on the sequel, which will have even more di Read more of this blog post »

"Oh, what a glorious book. I adored Tom’s previous, equally idiosyncratic novel Villager, and was looking forward to this immensely.

I've never read a book of Tom's (fiction or non-fiction) that I haven't loved, and this is no exception.

It's a few years in the life of a man who has cats, including the incomparable The Bear. Plus many amusing observations of rural and small-town E

Kim Stanley Robinson
“We’ve been paying a fraction of what things really cost to make, but meanwhile the planet, and the workers who made the stuff, take the unpaid costs right in the teeth.”
Kim Stanley Robinson, New York 2140

Terry Pratchett
“She was not, herself, hugely in favor of motherhood in general. Obviously it was necessary, but it wasn't exactly difficult. Even cats managed it. But women acted as if they'd been given a medal that entitled them to boss people around. It was as if, just because they'd got the label which said "mother", everyone else got a tiny part of the label that said "child"...”
Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum

Douglas Adams
“I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.”
Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time

J.R.R. Tolkien
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Katha Pollitt
“Why must the woman apologize for not having a baby just because she happened to get pregnant? It's as if we think motherhood is the default setting for a woman's life from first period to menopause, and she needs a note from God not to say yes to every zygote that knocks on her door.”
Katha Pollitt, Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights
