Gus, your books sounds intruiging. I am looking forward to it being published.

Deb, great synopsis. I hope you get the whole series published and soon.

I love the buffista blurbs.

Great blurb, Deb.

I hate you. Die before I publish.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

HEY!

Hey, yourself, blurb-gir!

Seriously, though. I would read it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

This is how I would blurb Gus:

"This first novel is compelling enough to make the reader want to break into the author's home and drink all his booze."

Man, is Steph ever up on her Buffistas history?

As long as they "want to" and the booze holds out ... Party On!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

"Inspired by a near-fatal monkey attack and the phrase 'There are no black people in Wisconsin,' Gus has created a novel that's warm, tender, true and full of explosions. He believes the process has made him taller."

Diggin' the blurbs, here.

Gus, I will totally read your book. May not buy it though. I've a nasty habit of finding a comfy chair in the store and reading the book and putting it back on the shelf. I'm an author's worst nightmare. For you, I would probably buy on the off-chance I could get your weremonkey print on it at some time. Then, it could sit on my shelf with all of Deb. G's books. And, hopefully, Allyson's when it comes out. I'm all for campaigning for the Buffistas to have their own section in all book stores.

Deb, I have to say that while I did enjoy FFoSM, I liked MG better. I'm not sure I can say why, except that I felt much more connected to both Ringan and Penny in that book than in FFoSM. Although FFoSM was the breakthrough where I actually started liking and getting Penny, it was very late into the book when it happened so I didn't feel as connected to them throughout the whole story. I felt the connection to the characters from the very beginning of MG. While the mystery parts of the stories were equally compelling and fascinating to watch unfold, it's the people who make the story for me. Just my two cents, there.

Yeah, I don't see Penny being your cup of tea at all, Sail - I'd have picked you for a connection with Jane.

I love Penny fiercely, but sometimes in a very exasperated way. She only has a few of my traits, and they're ones I exasperate myself with. May be why I connected with her, making myself look in the mirror. But none of them are Bree, that's for sure.

Weirdly enough, my editor - 87 years old - connects to Albert Wychsale. She says she recognises his reactions.

You are so right! I was going to add something about that, but left it out!
