Someone should redo that with Jon Hamm instead of a raptor.
I like the ruffles.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Maybe start a fan page on Facebook, Twitter, etc.?
I really hate Facebook, but I may have to suck it up and make a fan page. I'm already on Twitter and will just have to publicize that as I get closer to the release date. I'm going to redo my webpage, so there's that.
I suppose now that I'm in a town where I'm actually lucky to have people I know, I'll have to plan a book release party, maybe at my local indie, which would be nice support for both of us. Ultimately, the thing that's probably going to help the most will be word of mouth chatter and build up. I'm only going to have a limited number of physical arcs, though, so I may be hitting folks up and asking if they'd be willing to read an electronic version of it, then going into their local bookstores and pestering their booksellers as to when it's going to come out, are they going to be ordering it, etc., etc.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Go baby Callaluna!
The hell? I've been dialed into this meeting for fifteen minutes and no one else is on it. Way to go to keep me up to date on what's going on. Grr. Not sure how I fell off the update list but am still on the invite list.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I expect you can find some takers on that around here.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Barb, LibraryThing also has a giveaway program where they give physical and/or electronic copies of books to readers on the condition that they review it. I don't know what's involved in getting on board, but it might work for you.
(Apologies if you already know all this.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay, msbelle!
Yay, Callaluna! (Meanwhile, my friend who had her baby over the weekend had a 9-pounder, at home, a week+ past her due date....)

“Not dead yet!”
No, Dana, thanks! I no next to nothing about Library Thing. I (perhaps mistakenly) assumed it was similar to Good Reads, which I keep light tabs on and which I find frustrating, since it seems to operate on the same half-witted rating system as Amazon, where people often don't even read the book and give it a poor rating based on something other than the actual text.

Heh. Thanks, brenda!
