Barry Trotter (Book 1)
The Hogwash School for Wizards was the most famous school in the wizarding world, and Barry Trotter was its most famous student. His mere presence made sure that every year twenty candidates applied for every open spot, no matter how rapacious Hogwash's tuition became. As a result, Barry and the school had come to an unspoken agreement: regardless of his grades, Barry could remain at Hogwash for as long as he wished. He had just begun his eleventh year...Freshman
Sleepy with boredom and gassy from lunch, Hart Fox sat in the hard plastic chair outside his dean's office. A kid walked in the door, pink detention slip in hand, bobbing his head a little so that the purple spikes of his mohawk didn't get bent on the transom. He slumped down next to Hart. Hart nodded--he remembered tis joker from sophomore American History, constantly arguing in favor of anarcho-syndicalism. Was his name Henry?...Sophomore
Arcing lazily through the air, the Frisbee smacked against the window. “Ooo-oo!” a chiseled and shirtless boy teased as it wobbleplummeted to the ground. “Sarah's in troub-le!”The beauty-boy was righter than he knew: Of all the windows on campus to hit, this one was the worst. It belonged to Stutts’ Professor of Clandestine Affairs, Glenbard North, who had destroyed more students than there were blades of grass on the freshly resodded Old Quad below...Coming Soon!
All you really gotta know is, I'm writing new things constantly and the more I write, the better my books get. So if you've read my earlier work--and millions of you have--we should keep in touch. This fall, at least one and maybe two new books will be available: a Dickens parody AND a comic mystery loosely based on The Beatles. Drop me an email at mikesnewbooks[at]gmail[dot]com, and I'll be sure to let you know release dates, special deals, etc.Saturday, May 31, 2008

Paul! Yale! Right on!
Ed over at Dullblog has posted the happy news that Yale has given Paul McCartney an honorary degree.
I wonder if they'll hit him up for money? "Your Class Dues, Mr. McCartney, cover the costs of your Alumni Magazine..."

Buy Ed's book!
A friend of mine (and fellow Dullblogger) named Ed Park has just had his first novel come out. It's called Personal Days
and its website is here. Now, because the publishing business is fantastically messed-up, the performance of one's first novel is very, very, oh-so-very important--either the beginning of a beautiful relationship, or cause for recriminations and broken hearts on both sides.
So if you're looking for something to read on the beach, buy Personal Days. Ed's a funny guy and great writer.
