My book club just read MATBIB and unanimously loved it. Please keep writing!! One question we all had regarding the book (and forgive us if we missed something), what does the sound of cracking eggs signify or relate to? Thank you for a great read and we look forward to your next book. Congrats on a fantastic debut novel.

Hi Kathy! Thanks so much for your generous note.
Ah, the eggs... kind of intense and grim, but I was imagining how Lydia, at her young age, might try to process the sounds she was hearing happen in the house as she was hiding. To me, it's a moment of delusion, denial--a kid coping with something that was horrible, and way beyond her ability to understand...

Perhaps.... you are keeping the information a secret...but, if not, could you let me know your year of birth? One of my book clubs has set up a challenge that is based on reading a series of books in the order of the author's birth dates...and I was hoping to fit in Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore. Thank you

Not a question just wanted to let you know that I am enjoying your book. I have only just started it but I could tell that it was going to be right up my alley. The prose is beautiful and the story line, I can tell, is going to get pretty grim. It was reminding me of another of my favorite books when...boom! there it is referenced on page 50, Katherine Dunn's Geek Love. A favorite of yours?
