Deb, I've been poking the libraries and a couple of nice independent bookstores for the first or second weekend in December. I've received no word back yet.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Deena, they may not want to do anything until after the holidays are over; most bookstores, at least, won't book for December unless they know the author already. Since the store's already full of traffic....

True. I'm hopeful until I get a definite no, though.

Why do I always get publicity requests requiring immediate attention at midnight? Demanding headshots too big for the %$%$% program?
Done. Avonex. Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
Oh, and January would be fine, you know, sweetie.
Anne, will send when awake.

Huh. I hadn't thought of any time but the one. I'm sure it'll be a shock to everyone to discover I'm sometimes fatally single-minded.

I'm three for three in the reviews department! Library Journal review came out today:
Theater producer Penelope Wintercraft-Hawkes senses immediately that a London theater building bequeathed to her by a wealthy and eccentric French aunt she scarcely knew is unusual. The Victorian location could prove very beneficial to Penny's traveling troupe, but phantom odors, burning voices, and random shocks alarm both Penny and Ringan, her folklorist/guitarist/restorer boyfriend, then cause the death of a restoration specialist. The pair investigate and, with help from a retired archivist, pinpoint the cause of the disturbance. This follow-up to Grabien's debut, The Weaver and the Factory Maid, is an admirable blend of historical fact, folklore, and fancy - all told with compelling panache. Grabien lives in San Francisco.

Off to Seattle.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Off to Seattle.
Sounds like fun!
I'm writing up a storm this weekend. Since Friday, I've finished two columns ("How To Succeed As A Failing Writer" and the first of the new column over at WriteMovies.com, "Infante's Inferno,") along with the new bit of the weird-ass Oz and his "through the looking glass" Scooby Gang fic.
Best not to question it, I suppose.

And speaking of which ...
In the latest installment of "How To Succeed As A Failing Writer," the author extolls the virtues of reading comic books and writing Buffy fan fic. Does he know his audience, or what?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I know that virtually this entire thread is off Halloweening, but in my very small worldview...Nanowrimo starts tomorrow! I'm doing it again this year, but unlike last year, I have no clue what I want to write about. I want to be more character-based than plot-device-y this time, so...
I am taking suggestions for character names. Real world setting, so no Fancy McFancypants, please. First three suggestions are go. Thankyewverymuch.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Elizabeth Fraser. Elizabeth because DH vetoed it for Annabel, and Fraser because it's the front runner for my pen name last name if for any reason I decide not to write under my real name.
I'm doing NaNoWriMo in spirit, since rather than trying to write a novel from scratch in a month, I'm trying to finish a major edit/rewrite of one.
