How many writers do you know who have a blurb on a Japanese translation published by Haikasoru? That’s right: One. Namely, me (if you look closely at this image, you’ll see my name down there at the bottom). I was psyched to get an advanced peek at Slum Online and thoroughly enjoyed the book – I just wish I’d thought of Nick Mamatas’ neat blurb for it: “Catcher in the Rye with MMO karate fights!” Now I am jealous, as my blurb pales in comparison.
