Only time for a quick post today, and it's designed to get fellow author Jim Hines in trouble: Lindsay Lohan is in talks to play a role in a movie adaptation of Jim's newest book The Stepsister Scheme. Please note the way in which I have asserted this to be fact, despite Jim's (clearly specious--like the actual author would know!) claim that there is as yet nothing tangible to support this rumor. Also please note, a second time, that the rumored actress is Lindsay Lohan. (There's no truth to the speculation that Herbie will play a cameo as Cinderella's original pumpkin carriage, however.)
For all sorts of reasons--mostly for Jim's benefit--I hope this story turns out to be true. But even if it isn't, I'm glad to have done my part to spread the rumor. :)
