"Jamie laughed. Jamie laughed.
Jamie nodded. Jamie scowled."
THE HIDDEN POETRY IN TRUST FUND BOYS

I don't know what compelled me to do this (oh right, it was this) but I ran the Trust Fund Boys manuscript through Microsoft Word's Autosummarize feature.

Admittedly, I aimed low, and had the program boil a 115,000 word document to less than 1%. But that 1% is pure poetry.

(It's not coherent, of course, but what poetry is?)

AND SPEAKING OF TRUST FUND BOYS: Around two minutes ago, I got e-mail from my fellow famous Kensington author Bart Yates nailing down the time for our April 21 reading. It's 7:00 PM, folks. (See the sidebar for more details.) If you're free that evening, come on down and see the Famous Author in action.
