a midway bikelog

So a couple or more years ago, we had a new editor at work (it’s a textbook publisher) who seemed cool, rode his bike to work once in a while, did some writing of his own, but this job wasn’t his thing, and he moved on after a while. My job isn’t all that close to home, so it was a pleasant surprise to learn he also lived in my neighborhood. And even though i don’t see him that often, we’re both on Twitter and sorta stayed connected in that bloggy way, and i learned that he’s written quite a few chapter books and was working on his first young adult novel, which is a pretty big deal. His name is Steve Brezenoff, the novel is called The Absolute Value of -1, and it’s coming out this September with Carolrhoda but you can see a little trailer for the book now:
