My agent reported that The Speed of Dark sold 80-something copies in Austin last week. He wanted to know what I’d done (nothing–I was starting this blog.)
I suspect that one of the local colleges/universities is using it in a class. If I knew who chose it for his/her class, I’d offer to come speak to the class if they were interested.

Just finished this book, and wanted to let you know how blown away I was by it. I know very little about autism, but this was fantastic. Meaning the very highest praise, it reminded me of Flowers for Algernon in its beautiful characterisation.
Many regards
