Oh, Amy - I don't know if you read Dear Author but they had a question about whether people were interested in or based book purchases on author bios and/or photos. Most people said no - that they went by the description on the back of the book most often.

Crap, there goes part of my marketing plan.

Albino ... mute ... girl? I know of at least two people who played that character in a role-playing game

Babe, no! Non-fiction IS DIFFERENT. That's why they're going to buy it -- because even if the subject is interesting, your experience and take on it is going to seal the deal.

Totally different thing, I swear.

How did you know?! Were you part of that Vampire: Dark Ages game?

Totally different thing, I swear.

I know, I know. I was (mostly) being facetious. Honest.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So, everyone's okay with taking a hiatus with the drabbles, right?

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

Got notes on Sam from Agent Kate. Major rewrite.

Hold me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

You can do it, Allyson. But yes, virtual hugs for you in abundance.
