TWOMB, a novel by Michael Brown

Those very few of you who actually read this blog may recall a bit about Cormac McCarthy Spotted in Santa Fe. It was my pal Mike Brown who spotted him, and it gives me Very Great Pleasure to announce that yesterday I went over to Mike's house and was presented with a GIANT three-ring binder containing 478-pages of Mr. Brown's first draft of his first novel.

It was like a dream come true. The only thing cooler than putting your own book together or working on and then finishing your own novel (nope, not yet - but I'm really getting there this time) lies in being a "publisher" and getting a book for your newly christened little press by another writer. My experience with Mike is that he's got a really inventive imagination and he's a damn fine prose writer, so I imagine that TWOMB will be interesting - and if all goes well, Plaza Rat Press might actually release its second book by the end of 2005. Kiiiiiiick ass.
