That's cool, Allyson. Let me know if you need anything in Atlanta.
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Allyson, ought to be a hell of a con. Once it's set, can I pass this on to Jenn (my agent)? She has a nice stable of romance writers she reps.

Because books.
Deb, there's a nice review of The Real Minerva, your friend Mary Sharrat's book, in the new BookPage (which is usually free at local libraries). It sounds like a lovely book.
And I know this should probably go in Lit, but Deb doesn't hang out in there anymore.

Amy, I'll pass that on. Mary's doing a thing at Lafayette Books, and our friend Susan Ito is hosting a book party for Mary at her place in the East Bay on 4 October.
Oh, and I have the Bay Area booklaunch party at M is for Mystery all arranged, and will post in, what, press? Beep Me? one of 'em, anyway, as we get closer.
I want to do something back east, damn it.
And right now, I also want to work on vampire book, and can't until Nic takes me for a drive in the LA hills this weekend; I can't write them until I have the setting. And it's driving me fruit.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
If it's a case of needing many things to make it worth your while, Deb, I'd arrange a book signing or a library gathering or an anything you want, pretty much, here in Cleveland. It's not quite east, but it's close.

(thread hijack, for lack of any other place to put it)
Deena, that's the crux of it: having people in a given area bug the bookstore and/or library, and make the request. I'm doing a phone thing with a reading group at the Shrewsbury library, from here, if we can arrange it, but I just don't have the jam to ring up a bazillion bookstores around the USA and say hey, want to do an event?
So absolutely, if the Cleveland or local library wants an event? I'll go to Cleveland, you bet.

Taking it to e-mail.

The status is NOT quo.
I want to do something back east, damn it.
come read in Connecticut at RJ Julia's and I will bake for you and take you to see the pretty, the historic, and the downright silly
I'd be happy to bug them, if you'd like. Want me to inquire?

Kristin, hell yes, but we should take any discussion to email; I'm not hijacking the thread.

Always Anti-fascist!
I wrote another drabble, this one about how first impressions go wrong...there aren't actually "Colors" in it.
Colors
Mom and James are all hot on this cop show they watch all the time...never leave the house for, in fact. I take every opportunity to be out “roaming the streets” as my mom says. I think she’s kidding, but things are touchy for us right now...who knows. But doesn’t L&O say it all...especially Lennie.Man, I love that guy...even if I’m still like “When did Baby Houseman’s dad learn ‘punk’?”
The show’s not all that. About some foreign guy getting shot in a KISS mask while a cop with a voice like God calls it racist. I don’t think it is, even if Jim’s an idiot(Tim and Jim...they really name creatively in the Bayliss clan...idiot must be catching.)
And what’s that Tim guy so torn up for? Dude, it’s no big...on TV the cop’s family always gets a break.
Eh. Can’t imagine getting caught up in that.Even if that woman does have great hair.
Boring Law and Order clone.
