Welcome to the blog. We’ll be weighing in on items of interest to the unwritten rules as they happen, offering our own opinions and soliciting yours.

We’ll also be hitting book news: readings, appearances, radio spots, etc. Release date is March 9. You’ll know it by the fireworks and fighter-jet flyovers, pretty much no matter where you are.

In the meantime, get your fix at Facebook (The Baseball Codes) or the official Random House site.
