Another successful college friend

My friend Scott Heim, who was one of my best friends my sophomore year of college, became a writer ... and he just had his first book turned into a movie, which opened this Friday in New York.

You can see the trailer for Mysterious Skin by clicking here. You can buy the book here. Or, of course, if you know me, ask to borrow my signed first editions of either of Scott's two books (and I'll say "no").

The movie, like the book, is probably not for everyone, but try to support it anyway when the movie comes to your town (June 17 in Seattle) -- even though Scott still has never thanked me for the concept of the "Suffering Box," which he used in his second book.
