Some of my goofy theater friends got together for a Memorial Day BBQ and managed to sneakily film this in my presence without me catching on. Victoria R. Golden asked these nuts what they thought my book was about--and a few even came close. For the record, Don't Touch is definitely not about:
1. magical powers 2. superpowers 3. genetic sticky-skin defects 4. a galactically imperialistic female president with genocidal tendencies 5. katanas 6. leprosy 7. hobbits 8. vampires 9. crime-fighting mummies 10. teenage natural history enthusiasts 11. fried chicken 12. Lithuania 13. Mega Man 14. Romeo & Juliet Though it may include: 1. a discussion of superpowers 2. gloves (albeit not lace ones) 3. theater as an outlet to let "feelings out into society" 4. a crush on a boy in a play 5. a gay teen (though not one who has problems with touching) 6. a reference to time travel 7. love 8. fighting 9. Alabama 10. coming of age 11. divorce 12. OCD 13. Shakespeare 14. moving, world-changing genius (according to my excellent friends who have not yet read the book)
