New Editions

The Fed Ex man just left. He dropped off a package from NYC--copies of the International Edition of Hummingbird. I've never had an International Edition of anything before. It's a gorgeous cover--if you're in England, Scotland, Canada, Ireland, Down Under or Asia, look for it!

Even handsomer is the trade paperback edition of Hummingbird for the USA. That will be released April 3. Uh, that's the same week as Da Vinci Code. Oh noooooooooooooooo!

Today's Trivia

OK, as promised, here goes some iPod trivia. I have been asked by a couple of readers what I listen to on my iPod. My poor iPod has a serious personality disorder. And I love reading those magazines you keep beside the toilet, with all those useless lists in them like The 10 Sexiest Norwegian Death Metal Drummers or The 50 Most Humiliating Public Intoxication Stories of 1977! So, for y'all pop culture victims like me, I'll give you a peek at my playlist.

The 50 Most Humiliating Public Confessions of What's on Luis Urrea's iPod!

This is our spot, just for us. Here, we can chat:  If I’m nearby, I’ll come and visit your club. Otherwise, we can Skype, talk over the phone or email. Sometimes, I’ll send surprises or hold contests.
