I'm not sure what to do with myself, lately.
I'd start with champagne and go from there. Seriously, this is such amazing news!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When people ask mewhat my book is about, I still don't know how to describe it without getting redfaced.
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....

Maybe after V-Day?

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
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.

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

exactly! Before V-Day= beer and whiskey. After V-Day= reasonably priced champagne and flowers!
It's win-win.
My data does not indicate that Mexican Coke will be affected by the holiday, so Allyson should be all set regardless.

Weird. I got some on sale. But this isn't the first time I've seen indications that the midwest does things ass backward.
