It's getting good presales from the chains and we're thinking that this book might be the "sleeper" of our fall list!
Unreal. I'm not sure what to do with myself, lately. The presales were over twice as many as expected at the big chains.
I can't believe any of this is happening, really.
I think it's because I think I'm so lame, and that mostly everyone here is a way better writer than I.
I can't imagine the thing being that successful, because it all seems so embarassingly ridonkulous.
When people ask mewhat my book is about, I still don't know how to describe it without getting redfaced.
We do hot and clorox for white. Cold for Blacks and coloreds. Since we uee clorox--white and black goes with blacks.

I'd start with champagne and go from there. Seriously, this is such amazing news!
Allyson, I second the champagne idea! And I'll bet you can get some on sale because of Valentine's Day.
And I need to pre-order your book.

You misspelled, "all champagne will be marked up because of Valentine's Day hype."
I assume it's like the same as the V-Day specific fluctuation in price for red roses, right?

If you don't feel like launching into a detailed explanation, you could say, "It's a vampire thing you just wouldn't understand."
Congrats on the good early signs, btw....
no no! No champagne. I'll wait for a good review. Then I'll have a little. Korbel. In a paper cup.
If it sells well, then I'll move up to Korbel in a plastic cup.
I can't fathom them selling all the copies that were ordered. The thing that I think was good (and also an amazing stroke of luck) is that the booksellers picked my sample chapters out of what is likely a huge pile of new authors and they liked the writing enough to place a confident order.
Screams for a Lush bath, really.
Speaking of products, I was rolling with a guy this weekend and he paused and said "Aveda?" Boy (he's 22) got my hair product right! Damn weird, let me tell you, since it's a very slight smell.
