Oops, now I have a new-new blog
Hi all, my stint at Adoption.com writing the FERTILITY blog was fun, but then I found out that they actively discriminate against gays and singles wanting to adopt...so I quit. But it was so fun now I'll be blogging for free on GreenFertility.blogspot.com. See you there!

In the meantime,

Hi, Mobylives readers!
Can you find the author?
A. Louis contributed this wonderful pome:
By the shores of Gitchie Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water
Sat the walleye-gobbling lady,
Somebody's dark and native daughter.

Selected as Summer Read
This novel isn't exactly a happy-ending kind of beach book, but it is a good size to make a pillow for your head in the sand. Was selected as a Summer Read by WGBH's Greater Boston.

Foreign rights deal!
Hey! We sold the TURKISH rights to Somebody's Daughter to Defne Yayinevi A.S. Way cool, eh? On a side note, just saw a great movie/documentary, Genghis Blues, by Roko and Adrian Belic, about a blind blues musician who learns to do Tuvan throat singing (ironically, he comes across this while cruising his shortwave radio in search of a KOREAN language program) and eventually goes to the motherland (Tuva) to compete in a throatsinging competition. Tuva is so isolated it seems that people probably hike to Ulan Bator for a taste of the swinging cosmopolis. Maybe my next rights deal will be the Tuvan rights.
