Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Oh, but I say thanks if someone holds the door for me when my hands are full, or lets me break in to make one copy in the middle of them making 300. For an intro to an agent, I feel like I should, I dunno, go capture Ichiro Suzuki and send him to you. Only his wife probably wouldn't appreciate that....must look into cloning technology.....

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Well, if you want pop into a couple of local bookstores and ask them if they're going to be carrying "Weaver", I'd love that. Jenn seems to think that selling 3000 of the first run would ensure the sale of the rest of the series and a trade paperback deal as well.
So everyone can do that. I will love all of you.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Already done. With reminders just often enough to not be off-puttingly naggy. Naggish? Nagging? Not alienating the booksellers, at any rate.

Inner Munch wants me to say something smutty right now. I'll send him for coffee.

See, I knew - sure as Tomorrow Is Tuesday - that you were going to go Munch at me. The one hand thing.
OK. Will someone remind me later that tomorrow, after toenail paintings and lunch, I have to find out who does the reviews these days at Rolling Stone, Guitar Player, and all the local papers?
Also that I have to (shudder) get hold of Target and K-Mart, find out who orders books for them, and offer to sign every local copy they order, if only they order some?
And just think, it's only Monday.
Did I post the editor-send list Jenn's using for "Still Life"? It's a damned good one, and note the final comment about touching base with Linda Marrow, who used to love me:
Amy Einhorn/Warner
Ginjer Buchanan/Berkley
?? (perhaps Selena James)/Pocket
Laura Anne/Roc (my note: Gilman, good buddy of mine and a client of Jenn's for her own books)
?? (possibly Diana Gill)/HarperCollins
Natalia Aponte/Tor
I'll check in with Linda Marrow and ask whether she's still in a position where she acquires directly or if there's someone else there I can have take a look at the book. Planning beyond these many doesn't take into account editors moving, new lines opening, etc. so I think this would be a good place to start. If that sounds good to you, then I'll get in touch with Amy and get the ball rolling...
I like my agent. She be good.
Out the door, I swear.
