A New Project

Next week, I’m launching a new project called The Second Pass. It’s a web site devoted to books -- reviews of new releases; essays about older, more neglected favorites; a blog; and reader recommendations. I think you’ll like it.

A Special Way of Being Afraid isn’t going anywhere. The Second Pass is a different, bigger venture -- I will be writing occasional reviews (and running the blog), but several distinguished writers have signed on to contribute. In short, it will be a bigger tent. Also, a talented friend of mine designed the site, and it looks terrific.

There will obviously be lots more about this in the days ahead, but I just wanted to plant the thought. If you’re hungry for fresh, frequently updated online books coverage, I hope you’ll visit often and send the link to all the book lovers in your life...
