Out of the blue, in the door, there was a Fed-ex box… I expected the box last week and when it didn’t come, I assumed it would never come. When you least expect it, expect it. Because it was there! My box of galleys from the publisher! And, other than the glaring typo on the first page of text (how did I miss that? Am I an idiot?) it looks really good and I read some, and I liked it a lot, which is a good sign, because I wasn’t sure after I finished it, because I’d gone entirely blind from having stared at it so much. This book, Nothing Special, is ready for pre-sale reviews. I am p-syched!

I haven’t been entirely sure that this cover would stick. I like it a lot. So, I hoped. It’s Felton’s little brother Andrew, with his glasses removed, trying to look like a philosopher and sort of mimicking his piano hero Glenn Gould.
Andrew’s a funny kid. Andrew’s maybe sadder than he seems. The cover is now official, I believe.
Yeah, I’m getting pretty excited about this book. The more distance I get from actually writing it, the more fond of the thing I’m getting. I like those Reinstein boys a lot.
Nothing Special comes out May 1, 2012. Review copies are coming. It can be added to your Goodreads lists, already. Good times, Herbach.

I just delivered Stupid Fast’s sequel, Nothing Special, to the publisher. I’m pretty excited about it. Felton becomes an absolute monster on the field, a mega-player. He loses his balance, though, and loses Gus, Aleah, and Andrew, his poor little brother. To be the kind of dude he really wants to be, he will have to learn, go where he doesn’t want to go, and rebuild what’s been broken (with a lot of help). Oh yeah… He’ll have to make it to Florida, twice.
