Daniel Pinkwater's new novel serialized on the web.

The Neddiad. A new chapter every Tuesday.

Daniel Pinkwater has been a huge influence on me, on my writing and on my life. I was in junior high when I first read Alan Mendelsohn, the Boy from Mars and from that and his other books, I learned that it's okay, and even good, to be weird. And it's okay to write weird stuff too.

Other faves include:

* Lizard Music
* The Snarkout Boys and the Avacado of Death (I even wrote a tiny piece of Rat fic)
* The Last Guru
* Young Adult Novel (strangely, I've never written a Kevin Shapiro story of my own)

Do you love Pinkwater as I do?

Yay! Alan Mendelsohn was my favorite book when I was growing up, and between Pinkwater and Monty Python, my sense of humor grew into the twisted, twisted thing it it today.
