Very nice, Amy!!
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Amy, it occurred to me - do you write your own copy for the back cover? I mean, you COULD ... and at least it'd be accurate ....

Because books.
Not for Harlequin. I did for my Kensington books, because why not? Easier for everyone. But lo, the Harlequin hierarchy is byzantine and foreboding. You should have seen the FOUR-PAGE art fact sheet I had to fill out for the cover.
To be clear, Kensington is where I used to work, and where I also wrote tons and tons of cover copy as a freelancer.

I sent off my revised manuscript on Sunday night. Today, email from my editor!
"Fantastic job on the manuscript--you absolutely knocked this out of the ball park. :) You've added some really wonderful information and I think the book just feels much more well-rounded. I really do think that GOTHIC CHARM SCHOOL is going to become a staple in every Gothy household."
Eeeeeee!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It should be noted that Gothic Charm School already is a staple in every goth household. But squeeful news about GCS: the Book! Congrats!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
GCS is also a staple in some Goth-Curious households too!!
