Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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

Congratulations, Sox!

Congrats, Sox! I'll read it tonight when I'm "done" for the workday.

Amy, go you! Countdown...

Because books.

Erin, I owe you email, but I'm crazed today. Will answer tonight, I hope. Mostly, YES! But I will email.

Hey, look! I swear they don't even tell me they're doing these things. A trailer on YouTube with Cold Kiss in it!

It's just a week in October, but we're hitting Seattle (well, Lynnewood), L.A., Denver and Boulder, and Chicago. I expect to be Very Nearly Dead when I get home.

Oh, how cool! I think your cover is the most unique and eye catching, Amy.

Also, when will you be in Chicago, do you have an exact date?

Sunday, 10/16, 2 p.m., but it's actually Napierville. Is that a nearby suburb?

L.A. is actually Huntington Beach, too. And Denver is Highland Ranch! Boulder is, in fact, Boulder, though.

I'm going to put up info in F2F when I have a minute.

“Not dead yet!”

Whoa, what, wait... LYNNWOOD? Sweetheart, that's VERY NEAR MY HOOD! When were you going to tell me??
