Just sent it again.
Es no aqui. Gah, why does my brain hook on these little foreignisms. Not here yet, sorry.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Anne! Didn't you get my return email? I wrote one.
VERY good comments, and I agree with the need to colourise Marcus a bit. He gets much more interesting as the book goes along (or so I anticipate - he becomes the only other person hearing what RIngan's hearing, and is too freaked to say anything until he realises Ringan hears it too) but this was the first shot at writing him, and what you read was unedited.

It hasn't appeared, darn it. I'm glad the comments helped.

Definitely weird. My email box shows the little arrow thingie, indicating that I sent the reply, but I don't keep my "sent" mails for more than I do, so I can't check. But it was basically what I said above.
Oh, and one other thing: you had a "Ha! Wrong! Am I right?" note in there, about Ringan thinking there was never a house on the site. Do you really want the answer to that? It may not be what you think....

Already posted the Morning Show news - see Press.
But also? Just heard back from my agent. Jenn loves what I sent her of "Cruel Sister", thinks we can send it on to pitch Ruth.
I'm having a very very very good day.

Hmm. I think I'll wait to see how it plays out.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
The new poetry chapbook, "Warhol Days," is done, and the cover is very, very pink. As shockingly pink as I could find. I'm very pleased.
Unfortunately, I can't take orders for the book until February, or even sell them here in New England, because I need them all for California. In fact, I'll probably have to make more partway through, because my first couple gigs are big.
Put the schedule for the four public readings up over in Sunnydale Press. Hope to see Californiaistas somewhere in the trip. NoCal will be a little madcap.
Very, very ready to be on the left coast for a spell.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yay! Victor visit!

OK, help wanted.
I need some good modern Scots names for girls. Popular names for Scots girs in this day and age.
It can't be Margaret, or any form thereof. I already established in Weaver that Ringan's insaneo mum is called Maggie. I now need a name for his niece.
Suggestions?
edit: Ah. Never mind. Found the website. Most popular is Emma, but I think I may go with Rebecca, which is in the top ten. She'd be Becca.
