Hot Men of Children's Literature

I just popped over to Fuse #8 to get my morning fix of kid-lit news, and guess what was staring back at me? The most recent inductee into Betsy Bird's pantheon of

HOT MEN OF CHILDREN'S LITERATURE:

My husband! I love it! He joins the ranks of such creators as Neil Gaiman and Brian Selznick, and she pulled some photos off our blogs to illustrate his hotness to her wider reading public. I am so so proud to be the wife of a HMOCL!

And without further ado, here he is:


Other exciting news:
I have joined the subculture of friend-scavenging that is MYSPACE! You know, that little universe where you build a profile page, usually with a photo of yourself with your arm out in that telltale self-photographing pose? And then you send out dozens, neh, hundreds of friend requests to perfect strangers, so you can say, "I have 473 friends." Yah. That. Shameful, all of it. Tsk. So, er. . . heh heh. . . ya wanna be friends? Seriously. I scoffed before, but I see now that Myspace is not all about hooking up. There are tons of creative folks sending each other bulletins about their shows and readings and new books and stuff. AND I am proud to report I actually learned some nifty html at long last, so I could wow my new friends with my ability to center lines and enlarge text in my profile box. Are you amazed by my html prowess? No? But I can even do block quotes! I can do colors! All a perfectly legitimate use of a Saturday.

So come on over, ye legions of potential friends! Come HERE. And in case you're wondering, as of this writing, I have 34 friends. We're like that. (Picture two fingers crossed). I also have: 1 hot husband!

It's always good to be married to a hottie. Congrats to both of you! Your MySpace page looks great. It's a world I haven't gotten into, and probably won't - blogger is all my tech-stunted self can handle.

Just don't laugh when you see my page, ok?

Goodness, a HMOCL no less, you are quite the celebrity couple. Tell me this won't mean an end to flanels and slippers at your place.

I'm late on finding this, but so happy that I did. Way to go, Jim...and Laini, too! You already knew he was a fine catch, but I'm sure it's both a proud and smug moment realizing the rest of the world is admiring your hot, studly man!
