READ IT! | BUY IT!

November 11, 2005

What might have been...

I had a horrible nightmare last night. I was walking through a bookstore, happily listening to some Harry Belafonte on my ipod, and this is what I came across in the Sci-fi section:

There was screaming. And crying. And pounding on the floor. At one point the ipod was thrown at the cover. Headhones were used as a whip to lash at it. Then more screaming. Store clerks were slapped. Booksheves were toppled. And children were scarred for life.

It ended with me huddled up in the fetal position, sucking my thumb in the corner of the store. I vaguely remember a penguin waddling over and trying to comfort me, patting me on the head with one of his wings...but it's all pretty hazy after I saw the cover.

For those of you who don't know, Foop! was originally entitled Poof! Thank God for last minute changes.

hi chris,

my friend sarah just bought me your book for christmas and i'm well into it and love it! and while i love the cover you went with, the cover you present here would be excellent as well. perhaps for a special hardcover limited edition.
