Yay, Susan. I'm happy for you...and hoping it rubs off. All the best to you with it.
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I did it. I wrote a novel. I finished what I started, proved I had it in me, proved I'm not just a quitter, that I can push past my own laziness and fears. I wrote a BOOK.
GO SUSAN!!! WOO HOO!!!

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Susan, that's excellent news. Congratulations.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
(rubbing hands gleefully)
Damn, I do like seeing writers write.

YAY SUSAN!!!

Hooookay. The dance begins in earnest.
From my editor, re a trip to (gah) the East Coast:
There's no doubt that if you could get here we could get you appearances, or signings, or readings (with music yet) at bookstores; certainly the three or four mystery bookstores here (Partners and Crime does the best author events) and quite possible Barnes and Noble - possibly other things as well, like a library reading.
We could most probably do something of the same in the Boston area. And maybe we could think something special up, like an interview for one of the papers about your checkered career.
Leave out the "checkered career - because no way in hell, thanks - and this does sound as if they're willing to push it.
Off to check Skymiles accounts.
