Big thanks to Mike Dawson, who snapped the above photo for me at the corner of 7th and 42nd. If you squint, you can see the cover of my novel, The Blonde, on that big cell phone. (Click on it for a larger version.) It's an ad, of course, showing how you can search Amazon.com for "blondes" right there on your Sprint-powered phone. Mike reports: "The image appears towards the end of a three to five minute loop illustration the joys of Sprint cellular service."Mike, for his trouble, will be receiving a signed copy of Level 26: Dark Origins, which will be out exactly a week from today. (Have you pre-ordered your copy yet? What, do I have to take out an ad on Times Square? Sheesh.)

Cool, Duane!
Crap I was going to swing by tonight and get a picture for you! (I want the book :-) Oh Well I guess I'll wait a few more days! Looks great Congrats on being in the Square...
That's brilliant.
Next stop, the top of One Times Square.
I saw Level 26 at the library yesterday. Looked creepy as shit.
Do you get a royalty for use of your cover in an ad? Or does the artist?
Karin: No royalty. But I figure it's an even trade. They use the cover; the book receives some exposure.
