That is utterly awesome!
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

That is great! I hope it happens. And I think Riesgraf would make a terrific Toby.

So does Seanan. She's a huge Leverage fan.
Also, she's going on her very first book tour! Only West Coast for now, though.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Cool! She's going to be at my favorite bookstore on Halloween - if I say, "I'm a friend of Polter-Cow," will I get extra credit? I think Indexing is currently my fave of her stuff, but I don't think I want her signing my Kindle.
Also, I was pimping her at a local Barnes & Noble last weekend, too. They had a table of zombie books out, but she wasn't on it, so I recomended her (not that I've read any of the Feed series, but you guys tend to be a pretty discerning crowd).

The Atlanta Falcons have been using "Rise up" as a tagline since last year, and every time I hear it, I think "Rise up while you can."

She has five books—not to mention various short stories and novellas in magazines/anthologies—out this year:
Midnight Blue-Light Special, Book #2 in InCryptid
Indexing, the Kindle serial
Velveteen vs. the Multiverse, Book #2 in the Velveteen vs. series
Chimes at Midnight, Book #7 in October Daye
Parasite, Book #1 in Forced Evolutions
She also has a day job.

Yes! I mean, I don't know what kind of credit you're looking for, but it will be extra.

7!?!?
Criminy, I'm behind!
I was just talking about her at my fave bookstore; the 27 different series of books, the music; I must be the biggest, most uncreative slacker in slackerdom next to her - is her day job curing cancer or something?
Yes! I mean, I don't know what kind of credit you're looking for, but it will be extra.
Yay!

It is NOT! It is a crappy job she keeps only for the healthcare.

Because books.
I told her I knew P-C when I saw her at BEA. Which was ... two years ago, I think!
