Wahoo Deb!
also Fay:
...is it VERY wrong that I'm slashing the knight and the dragon like crazy?
Well with a knight and a dragon the term "slash" might prove a bit literal.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Deb, that's fantastic! Wow.

Deb, that sounds awesome! Can't wait to see what comes of it all.

Am waiting with eager glee for the first wanna-be hipster to say, roughly, "Yo, dog, why's the middle-aged white broad doin' this shit, huh? You couldn't find nobody from the hood?"
Then waiting for the entertainment news to be agog with the story of the middle-aged white broad kicking the ass of some wanna-be hipster at a hip-hop club.

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

That was pretty much the scenario I suggested to Daymond. You couldn't make this shit up - the crappiest screenwriter wannabe couldn't make it up. "She's a retired white middle-aged rocker with pared-down prose and humanist sensibilities! He's an Industry bazillionaire! Together, they fight crime! It's comedy gold!"

Even better. I'll kick the wanna-be's ass and then blow them a kiss during the Oprah gig. Because Daymond? Is who he is.
And I think I know how I want to do it: a thriller with a single story arc spanning three books. I have enough of a glimmer to bare-bones a proposal, which is fortunate, since Daymond's agent - who is also a Hollywood guy - left a message at Marlene's office....

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Holy mother of Wow, Deb. That's fabulous! I too am waiting with glee for the above-outlined scene to unfold.
Mind you, I'm actually JUST as pleased about this for the sake of the added clout it should lend you, because the Matty Groves publishers need a serious kick in the butt wrt their approach to your books. Bleeding STUPID is what they are being right now, and I hope that this might make them have a wee rethink.
(And, yes, the novel is the one I sent you the first chapter of. Really pleased you liked it!)

Because books.

Oh, that sounds like fun! This project is going to be so cool, Deb.

First chunk of the hip-hop proposal done.
Fear me.
