My Friend Tom’s New Book!
January 30, 2008My dear friend Tom Dolby has a new book out called THE SIXTH FORM. It’s a riveting, haunting read about two prep-school boys, their friendship, their sexuality and what happens during their fateful senior year (or “sixth form” as it’s known in boarding school). It’s an adult book, not a YA, but I think you guys will enjoy it thoroughly!
It’s always so nice when a friend has a new book out, I’m always so eager to read anything new from people I love. And I have good memories of Tom writing this book--it was during a writing vacation in Lake Tahoe while he was working on it that I got the idea for “Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys.” Congrats, Tom and hurry up with the next one!

Sorry I didn’t get to see you in Holmdel, Melissa!
It’s like 40 minutes from my house.
I hope you come to Freehold/Howell B&N;next time. :]
Melissa, you are my absolute favorite writer.
I’ve never said that before, but I’m saying it now!
It’s true. :]
