Some time ago, I had the great fortune to eat dinner with James Minz, Scott Westerfeld, Justine Larbalestier, and Karen Joy Fowler. Karen had just made the New York Times Bestseller list with her novel THE JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB. We went to a great place called Sushi Samba (Brazillian Sushi).
Why do I bring this up? Well, it has come to my attention that Mr. Westerfeld's newest novel, SPECIALS, will appear on the NYT list at #6. How freaking cool is that? So that fortuitous dinner had one current NYT bestselling author and one future NYT bestselling author at it. My dreams and hopes for Justine are big to also join this fraternity of writers!
Justine and Scott say that they have even bigger news to annouce, my guess is that they're pregnant. :) (I say this as a new parent who assumes all people with big news are announcing that they're pregnant)

Oh my god. I would laugh so hard if they were pregnant.
(Just as I would expect them to laugh if the situation were reversed.)
*I say this because I think there's, ah, No Way In Hell that's it. :)
LOL! It's just my cheap way of driving people to my blog. You know, starting a rumor, etc.
JK
PS-so, no news from TN like that? ;)
Neither Scott nor I are up the duff. Or if we are we are unaware of it and given the amount of champagne we drank last night . . . well, ooops.
I don't think the big news is as big as Scott listing in the fracking New York Times!!!! I still can't believe it!
I remember that dinner (though I remember it being lunch). Freaky huh? I wouldn't have dreamed it at the time.
As for me ever being in their company. Who knows? Maybe by my 13th book, or after I've been writing for as long as Karen had when she cracked with JABC. Or never like most writers :-)
PS If one of us ever is pregnant I bags it be Scott.
