Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's great, Allyson. That kind of response from Borders and B&N is HUGE.

I don't want to get your hopes up here, but uh...you might make some money. I mean, really if they even just turn your book out on the shelves so the cover is showing, or put it on a front rack you might not be a secretary next year.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Ailleann, gmail was being shirty for me a little while ago.

Allyson, that's fucking awesome! I'm pimping your book to everyone I know.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I was just spoiled for the end of Six Feet Under (which I am watching on DVD) on Jeopardy. And they did not use the Buffy Finale.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

That's great, Allyson! That's the kind of buzz that can really help a book. I love your writing and plan to buy copies for all my friends and maybe a few to shove into the hands of passing strangers.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Aw. All I know is what happens to one of the characters because it was hard to escape that on TWoP.

Also, Allyson, that's pretty fantastic news. I really enjoyed what I read of your essays.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Allyson, does the book have a specific release date? (IOW, when should I start asking my local indie bookstores to carry it?)

Just August. I can't breathe!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well it's NARM!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Allyson--that totally rocks! As do you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Excellent news, Allyson!
