Hooray! I got my notes! It's not so bad as I thought, too.

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

Allyson, that's wonderful!
(oooh, I wonder. Since you got your notes, does this mean I'll finally get the feedback notes from my agent? Gosh, that would be nice.)
But of course they're not as bad as you thought. Because you're far, far too hard on yourself.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
yay, Allyson.
And What. Jilli. Said.

Yay, Allyson!
Thirding what Jilli said.

Go, Allyson! One step further down the road to book signings in the lobbies of movie theaters.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Heh. Yep, I expected minimalism in terms of notes.

Ah, good reviews. Nice way to wake up after a gruesome night. From the Library Journal:
Grabien's Ringan Laine series is both unusual and entertaining in that she combines British folk music, British history, and the world of the modern recording star with paranormal elements. In this fourth entry (after Matty Groves ), musician/house restorer Ringan Laine is hired to make sure the Tudor-style house that lover Penny Wintercraft-Hawkes's brother wants to build on the Isle of Dogs is authentic. But Ringan begins to hear voices and have terrifying visions, leading him to call upon a group of outstanding historical researchers to help him investigate a 1540 murder. Grabien seamlessly weaves between time periods, making the reader believe in the possibility of the paranormal. As gentle as Barbara Michaels's paranormal suspense novels, Grabien's are also as downright frightening as Daniel Hecht's Cree Black thrillers. Grabien lives in San Francisco.
I'll take that.

Very very nice, deb!
I'm thrilled so far with the notes I have, there's a couple of difficult questions, but I'm treating it like the SATs and doing the easier stuff first. He asked, "[AU: Say more about your history, and how after all this you ended up as one of the biggest fandom gurus. Again, doesn’t need to be long, but just to make sure the reader has that set in their mind. "
This is a finger poking into my rib. Biggest fandom gurus? I need a bigger ego to answer that without laughing. I can't wait to crack into it, and wish I had taken the day off.
