Yeah but also talking about sex and murder and money. So it is all good.

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.

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Whoot! I got spring! And another 3000 words to write. Will need a beta or two in about 15 minutes.
