Those of you who know me know that Daphne Uviller is my beloved friend/sister-type whose backyard I got married in and who coedited the anthology Only Child with me.  So it brings me HUGE pleasure to spread word this morning about Daphne’s new novel, Super in the City, which goes on sale TODAY.

I seriously love this book, and not just because Daphne is my friend.  A comic mystery about a young woman who becomes the superintendent of her parents’ Greenwich Village brownstone, Super is, well, super. Publishers Weekly called it “…gleefully unpretentious… undoubtedly smarter and funnier than most other girls-in-the-city novels,” and Kirkus called Super “a funny, enjoyable caper.” The lovely and talented Elizabeth Gilbert christened it “intelligent candy.”  But find out for yourself. You can buy Super on Amazon and wherever books are sold.

For those in NYC, join me at Daphne’s readings, which you can learn about here.

A confession: I was so geeky excited about this friendlaunch that I took myself to the Border’s at Columbus Circle last night to see if the book was on the shelves.  And there it was, smack on the New Paperbacks table, as pictured here. When a friend as dear as Daphne publishes a book, it’s nearly as fun as when it’s my own.

Actually, maybe moreso.

Twice the fun and half the fret?!

(Congrats, my coed, YOU DID IT!!!!!!)
