People sometimes talk about books as if they are babies, raised by the author and ultimately sent into the world to make their fortunes. We even wish authors a "happy book birthday" on their publication day! In the last month, I've been thinking about the similarities and differences between "book babies" and actual babies, since I'm in the position to compare the two directly; as it happens (as it was meant to happen), my new book and our first baby were both scheduled to debut in the first week of November. :-o
