I...I...holy cats, people, IT'S A BOOK.

Rosemary and Rue was just reviewed by Publishers Weekly.

To quote (just a little, although wow do I wanna quote a lot more), "Well researched, sharply told, highly atmospheric and as brutal as any pulp detective tale, this promising start to a new urban fantasy series is sure to appeal to fans of Jim Butcher or Kim Harrison."

There is absolutely no way this football is being yanked away from me.

Holy cats.

Awesome!!!

My manager just called me from work to say "I'm really glad you're coming in today, because a bunch of customers just stormed the customer service desk, talking about Publishers' Weekly and some author named McGuire -- is that your McGuire that you've been talking about?" Work is going to be fuuuuuuun... :)

...dude, are you messing with me, or did you just actually get that call?!

Idle flattery is not my thing. :) I'm the girl to whom my coworkers shunt customers when they want scfi or fantasy, and I've been recommending you to everyone who asks for "something new; I've read all of _______'s books." This just gives me more ammo!

So, yes -- really did get the call.

Oh.

My.

God.

I didn't think you were into idle flattery, but that could have been teasing. And again: oh. My. God.

To tease you about such a thing would have been utterly cruel. I like a joke just as much as the next girl, but poking fun at someone else's dreams/written darlings is not cool.

I may have to beat people off my service counter with a stick come September; not because I want them to go away, but so I can have breathing room to hand out books!
