Because books.

OMG, that made me just absolutely tear up, because it's not that this editor likes this book-- she likes my WRITING and that is a gift above most others.

So awesome, Barb. WHEEEE! And I really believe that about St. Martin's, too. Excellent news!

So awesome, Barb. WHEEEE! And I really believe that about St. Martin's, too. Excellent news!

You know, I do too-- St. Martin's has always been a house I'd love to work with, for a lot of reasons, that being a major one. It's always seemed as if they're one of the houses who's always on the cutting edge and is less afraid of taking a risk.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Oh, Barb! That is fabulous!

“Not dead yet!”

Also? I am a HUGE dorkalopagus. I've got the Glee cast version of "Don't Stop Believin'" on replay and I'm singing along with a huge grin on my face.

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

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wow, Barb, that's just wonderful!
