We’re admirers of the work done by the author known as xTx. We’ve published her short story “How to Deal With a Black Eye on Thanksgiving,” and her short novel Billie the Bull was one of our favorite books of 2013. So the news that Civil Coping Mechanisms would be releasing her next book, titled Today I Am A Book, early next year was welcome indeed. And now that book has a c0ver, and it’s got a deeply lived-in charm and style about it.
