I love it. I caught the history history as well, but my other question was, is the comma necessary in "writing, to really learn how to cook."
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

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

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
(off to fix typos)
Sorry - I drove down to San Jose to feed the ferals in a blinding rainstorm, because Nic's sick.
After I fix the typos? I'm going to eat a really large piece of grilled meat.
edit: comma removed, double history now single history, and "thirteen of them" has become "thirteen of the feline persuasion."

What Beverly said.
Also, lots of 'go you!' and 'you can do it!' to the word-counters (the initials are a bit too complicated for me). It's Anne, Deena, Liese, Betsy, amych, Suela, erika, Theodosia and whom else did I miss? t /doesn't-really-have-anything-to-say lurker

I HAVE A BOOK!
Fed Ex just walked up the stairs and handed me a pre-mass copy of "Weaver" and it's fucking GORGEOUS!

Ten years, people. Forgot how cool it is to handle that first copy.

So, you're saying you never forget the first time you touch it? Go You! And thanks, Nilly. But I stalled and watched coffinsex today. I feel guilty.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Terrific, Deb. YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

It's sooooo beautiful; lovely muted cover. The back has the same 19th century style curclecues, framing the following: "PRAISE FOR THE NOVELS OF DEBORAH GRABIEN" and then Tad's blurb, plus two reviews of "Plainsong" (SF Chronicle and Booklist) and "Eyes in the Fire" (Publishers Weekly and Kirkus). And you can see more of the cottage and more of the barn! And the "peeling back" is repeated, one tiny perfect bit, on the rear cover! And they used the same motif on the inside rear flap, for my photo!
