Exclusive New Excerpt

First, some fun for all you Anchored fans: I'm guest-blogging at Chris Redding's blog today, and I've given him an exclusive excerpt of The New Kid, a piece from a not-yet-released short story collection that takes place in the Belonging world. This is the very first peek that anyone--my editor included--has had of these stories. The collection is a work in progress (so no release date yet) that focuses on Daniel's early years at NewWorld Media. Many of the stories, including this one, are told through the eyes of others. (If you'd like to suggest a theme or idea for one of these stories, you can do so here.)

And now, on to the Hottie of the Day. I've been thinking a lot about fighters lately, what with the Belonging-verse stories Aleks Voinov and I are planning, so for this week's hotties, the gloves come . . . er, on? Besides, who doesn't love a little threat of violence? :D


Under the jump for the workin' folks.
