Susan! Genius!
Damnit, I knew Cordelia was the move.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

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

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
"It's all so simple from this perspective."
Hah. Go, Susan! If you need a third beta, I'm up for it.

The cover itself is pale blue, with this ghostly shadowed greyscale 18th century cottage and thatched barn.
Oh, that reads like it looks both beautiful and right.
Dan says he'll not only tell the art department about making the peelaway a piece of sheet music, but also suggest using the sheet music theme as a design element throughout the book.
Oh, that reads even more beautiful and right.
And the cover says "The first in a new series bringing old English mystery ballads into the modern world".
Third time - ice cream. Deb, I'm so happy to 'see' you so pleased!
Susan, I was too late of a catcher-upper to comment on your options, I just read them along with your solution, and I think you did go with the best one. And I join the crowd of the 'can't wait to read'.

Hee! I knew I was checking in for a reason! And Nilly's read it, so she knows whereof she speaks, too.
'night, Nilly and all. Half past one in the morning. Must keel.
I get to beta Susan's book!

Wow, Deb, that sounds marvelous. Good on you! Can't wait to snatch it up in the store!
In fact... hmmm. There's a small bookstore around the corner from my house that loves to focus local authors. I don't know how the whole marketing thing works, but would it be appropriate for me to mention the book to the owner and ask if they'd be interested in hosting a signing? At the very least I can recommend they lay in a good supply and plug the local angle.

Consuela, you betcha, and it would be much appreciated and I would cook you something yummily edible in gratitude.
I've got a PR person at St. Martin's who will send promotional materials for signings and whatnot at my request, so full cooperation would be right there.

Coolness. I have to stop by and pick something up from them anyway, so I'll talk to the owner this week.

Utter coolness. Now, you just need to tell me what would make you happy to eat, and I'll make certain we have it at the BBQ (see Beep Me from a few days ago).

I look more rad than Lutheranism
New acrostic poem for class tonight. Thoughts?
Solstice
Somnolence settles over the landscape, as black-eyed Susans
Undulate in the breeze (the breeze
Murmuring enticements that tickle the ear and
Melt all resolve to work, study, clean):
Expectations trickle away with the
Rivulets that run down my glass.

Question: line 3 -- "Murmuring" or "Murmurs"?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I like murmuring better.
