Thanks for the round-up the Edgars, and for including my book.
I was really honored to win that cool bust of Edgar. What a fun night. I am still giddy.
Because of the interest from students and teachers/profs, we’ve created lesson plans and I’m doing phone-ins or skype to book clubs.
An expanded paperback edition is just out. I spent a lot of time on the new material, so I hope it's OK to mention what I added:
— A 12-page afterword: “Forgiveness.” It includes startling new revelations on the killers' parents. The purpose, though, was to look at three victims in very different places 11 years later, and how forgiving played a pivotal role in their grief. I discovered the secret meetings with the killers' parents in the process.
— Actual journal pages from Eric Harris & Dylan Klebold.
— Book Club Discussion Questions (also available at Oprah.com).
— Diagram of Columbine High School and environs.
— A large-print edition is also now available.
There's lots more info at my Columbine site.
Thanks again.
