The Native American YA anthology, edited by Lori Carlson (who also did Cool Salsa) for a fall 05 release will not be called The Moccasin Telegraph after all, my Harper editor tells me, because of concerns that “telegraph” might sound too old-fashioned to teens. It’s a valid marketing observation, I think. I’ll keep y’all posted on the new title.

Tried to watch “Firefly” today, being a big Whedonverse fan, but just couldn’t get into it. I’m going to see if there’s a novelization, try that, and then return to the DVDs because I’m guessing it’s a back-story issue.

Out to Eastside with Frances and Brian tonight. Lentil soup had too many carrots but otherwise fine dining with good conversation.
