Q&A Monday #2

sloppy-firsts-final-from-crown

Q. Will the Jessica Darling series be released as a boxed set? I want to buy the whole series but if there will be a box set forthcoming, then I will wait for that.–Sarah Mae, Los Angeles

A. Now that the series is finished, it makes sense for them to all be packaged together in one convenient set, right? I’m sure that will happen eventually…but not in the immediate future. As I understand it, Perfect Fifths will come out in trade paperback about a year from now (I’ll let you know as soon as I know), along with slightly redesigned versions of the previous books in the series. I imagine a boxed set mass market paperbacks (those are the smaller “drugstore” paperbacks) would be the next logical step after that. Think: 2011. Ish.

(Another question answered after the jump:) (more…)

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

perfectfifths12Randomly opened to page 178:

“Jessica worries there are far too many hours to fill with amusing anecdotes and idle gossip, especially when Marcus is pushing for truth and dare. And Marcus fears that time is too short for anything but, particularly after Jessica’s professed reluctance to play along.” (more…)

7. Fifty-six poems

written by Marcus and Jess

Here is one of his:

XXXIII. He writes

Everything we say

(what we don’t say, even more)

has double meaning

8. When I saw a photo of this painting in the newspaper, and read that it’s called The Desperate Man, my first reaction was, Oh my God! The Desperate Man! MARCUS! I ripped it out and kept it on my desk for months as I wrote Perfect Fifths. Late in the novel, a character makes the same connection and Marcus isn’t too flattered by it.

9. The 74-page conversation between Jessica and Marcus was inspired–in part–by the movie Before Sunset. This film’s final moments make for the most gorgeous, heart-stopping ending I’ve ever seen on screen.

10. Four words: Marcus Flutie shower scene.
