And my next solo after the four Liz books is going to be Alice's story when she's thirty, I think, so that limits the whole outside-of-the-novel story stuff, too. But we won't be there until August, so one thing at a time. I don’t think anybody wants a short story on how Andie and North’s marriage went sour in 1982, so I doubt we’ll do it for Maybe This Time.

Do you have an author's place online so we won't annoy the folks here at Ms. Crusie's place too much? TGIF. We're meeting the group tonight, so just let me know the particulars. We'll help all we can and we take it seriously since wagers are involved. But even without the bets, we'd take it seriously. On topic. It sounds like almost everybody has read Wild Ride. I'm still thinking it would make a great movie. The set design for the park would be something else. And, Ms. Crusie, I hope you put your song list up for the contest book since I spilled the beans on that. Marly says it was a premature something else. She has a mean side. I like it!

I feel like the third one keeps your eyes moving-- The large author's name is the first thing you see, but you don't miss the title since it's brighter than the name; and then the green of the olives and the text in the note pull your vision down so that you catch all the details, and get all the information that's there. So, yeah, that's my favorite. They're all good, though. Yeah, I agree.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. I mean, some of my best imaginary Internet friends are cranky demonic entities. Just not a good idea to piss them off :) Nah, I just think there are some cranky demonic entities out there. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

I got my copy instantly Tuesday on my Nook but I went into my local B&N and they had one copy in romance which I faced out and in their "New Fiction" aisle they had multiple copies faced out so thumbs up. It's great I am enjoying it immensely. I kinda like the yellow also.
