So Melissa Joulwan has the mind of a soul poet, the looks of a pagan sex-goddess, and the furious heart strength of a slighted panda. So she writes like she skates- all out passion with nuanced craftsmanship. So she's a rare gift to Austin and the world. So what? I'm no longer afraid of you, Melicious (if that really is your name). I challenge you. You. Me. Skating. Reading. All at the same time. Anything goes. The surviving writer wins. There can be only one!

Owen is definitely my favorite Austin author. It's a huge honor to share the "Best of" award with him -- and makes the recognition exponentially more fun. If you haven't read his short story collection yet, your life is far less than it could be. Go to Bookpeople immediately.
