The analogy between the world of children and of books is pretty close. There’s the labor, the waiting, the flurry of activity with the birth, but when it comes to announcements it fails. So I am ready to announce that Midnight Ink is publishing my new book, Smasher. Its due date is October 9, 2009. Kaynahora. Spit. Spit. Spit.It’s been exciting to hear the enthusiasm for the pending arrival from Bill Krause, publisher of MI, Steven Pomije, the PR manager, Courtney Kish, my PR rep, and Connie Hill, my editor-to-be.
Now comes the planning. I don’t have to paint the nursery walls pink, but I will have to give my website a new coat. And then there are visits to plan so friends and relatives can inspect the newcomer (e.g., at bookstores and conferences). I’ll keep you in the loop.

Congrats, Keith. Great news.
Finally, the follow-up to Dot Dead. Is it a follow-up? Or a standalone? I don't think the evil eye is watching, so give us a brief overview of the book.
SO happy and excited for you!
Great to hear, Keith! It's exciting that you have a new book in the works, and that is one exciting title!
"Finally," Jess? Publisher's Lunch listed our deal as follows: "Former dot-com CEO Keith Raffel's SMASHER, the follow-up to 2007's dot-dead, which combines Silicon Valley intrigue with a secret that may have cost a young scientist in the 1950's a Nobel Prize -- and her life, again to Bill Krause at Midnight Ink, by Josh Getzler at Writers House."
That's terrific news, Keith! Congrats. Great title, too.
Yes, finally. It sounds like MI made a good buy.
Ah, yes ... but should the gift we buy the baby (book) be pink or blue?
Congrats, Keith!
