Congratulations to Paul Tremblay for his brand-spanking new 2 book hardcover deal with Henry Holt. Hardcover! Jeez, that's sweet! The first book, "The Little Sleep," is described as "'The Big Sleep' meets 'Motherless Brooklyn,' about a narcoleptic South Boston PI and the case he must solve to prove his mettle." Well, that's going on my list of must-reads.

I became acquainted with Paul a couple of months ago when we traded emails about the publication of my story "Soft, Like a Rabbit" in Fantasy Magazine where Paul is (was?) co-editor. His emails gave me the impression he was a really nice guy and then in July we met in person at Readercon and that was confirmed.

Again, congrats, Paul!
