"Awkward" - Publishers Weekly "A poser" - Time Out New York for Kids "Write[s] like a girl" - YA Books Central "The equivalent of a fast food meal" - School Library Journal "Guaranteed to piss off...every teen reader" - Kirkus Reviews "His characters are so ... annoying that you wish you could reach into the novel and shake some sense into them." - Children's Literature ____________________ NEWSFLASH! I figured out how to use MySpace. (Sort of.) Visit me Here. The After Life is in stores, or you can order it on Amazon here! Speaking of which, check out the MySpace pages of Will, Liz, and Kyle. Or, if you're looking for love, go to Prepdate.com. NOTE: The After Life's content is a little racy, definitely the raciest work I've done to date. ("Racy" = most unimaginative euphemism ever.) In short: I wouldn't recommend it for middle school students. I would recommend it for high school students and, yes, even for adults. But that's just me. FINALLY: Check out a sample track from my upcoming EP; "Self-Hating Hippie: Dark Side of the Schtoon."

¹  I really did win the Edgar Award in 2003, for The Wessex Papers, under the pseudonym Daniel Parker. The award is a small ceramic bust of Edgar Allan Poe. It's chipped at the bottom, but it still makes a handy blunt instrument for mashing cookie dough and/or clogging/unclogging toilets. ²  "Internationally" is pushing it a little. As of now, I've only been a bestseller in France — for a series called Countdown, also under the pseudonym Daniel Parker. See this article from the French magazine Phosphore. I still haven't translated it. Does anyone out there speak French? If so, hit me back at dan@danielehrenhaft.com ³  This portrait was drawn by renowned artist Jacob Collins. Apparently, a "griblet" is a forgotten crumb that tends to get caught in one's beard. I didn't know it was there at the time.
