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

Going to post this in in Beep Me, as well. But, from my editor this morning (the first part refers to cherry steusel, and Dan is her PA):

I should have told you, but I was at home, without my e-mail addresses. Yes they arrived in fine condition and were absolutely delicious, considering their trip, but if you keep mailing things across the continent you'll use up your whole enormous advance. Thanks very much for them, which I shared with my family, lucky dogs. Maybe next time I'll eat it all myself. Which reminds me, when I come back from B-con I will call your agent and arrange to buy Serving Man. It looks to me like the series is going to go well. Very well. (Dan loves the book, too; he's just read Weaver so far.)

She shoots! She scores!

If I can find a cheap flight or talk Nic into a horrible drive, and Ruth has any time free, I may just blow the popstand and head down to Vegas.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Yesssssss!!!

Go, Team Series!!!

If I only had a brain...

I am soooooooo pleased.

It was the WalMart news that tipped it, I think.

Have you already thrashed out the dollar amount?

Betsy, nope. Being insanely well-behaved and leaving that to Jenn, whom I trust implicitly. Must call her, BTW.

Notice Ruth's comment about the "enormous" advance? I'll believe it when I see it.

But since "FFoSM" is the option book from the first contract, Jenn's already reassured me that "Matty" is basically an autmatic option sale. A series means at least three books....

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

Woohooo, Deb! That's fantastic.

I do, however, have a quibble with her shortening the title to Serving Man. I thought she was referring to a cookbook for cannibals for one confused split second. Famous Flower is better.
