The Battle Of The Red Hot Pepper Weenies (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
Feel free to skip this part if you aren’t one of them—though you’ll never know for sure unless you keep reading. It’s difficult to get one book of short stories published. The fact that I have four is a miracle. The miracle workers are my publisher, Kathleen Doherty; my editor, Susan Chang; and my publicist at Tor, Dot Lin. I’m a lucky guy. My wife, Joelle, and daughter, Alison, gave me lots of feedback for these stories, and never complained too much about being in the presence of a compulsive story writer. More luck on my part. Bill Mayer, the artist who draws those amazing Weenies, deserves a lot of credit for the popularity of these collections. It would be impossible to name all the people who work to get the book from me to you, including distributors, booksellers, and the guys in the ware house, but it would also be impossible not to thank one person in particular. Ed Masessa has done amazing things for the Weenies. The teachers and librarians who share my stories with their students deserve my thanks, as do all of you young readers who’ve told your friends or your teachers about my books.
