Even in GWW, they are talking about food.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

OMG. I just opened my long-ignored snail-mail. The cover art for my book is horrendously bad. I was going to post a scanned picture, but my scanner quit in the middle of the scan, as if it was offended.
I am doomed to obscurity.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
When does the book come out, Gus?

Fall, Robin.
Which means October, I think. The big names get November, which is pre-Christmas. September is for the post-Summer names, so I am middlin' good.
At the present moment, I'm hoping for spine-out placement at Waldens and Borders, 'cuz cover-out ...
Inducing vomitus on the floor of the store has got to be a negative for sales.

Yes! There is the marketing hook. Tape the cover next to your mirror or on your 'fridge. You will lose thirty pounds!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Gus, your idea of scheduling is odd. Fall releases tend to be hard to tour for, and very few bookstores schedule readings or signings between Thanksgiving and Xmas, because the stores are already crowded with people, and they don't need the additional draw. October is good. Spring/summer is better.
