Point the second: If you enter a CVS Drugs in search of the tiny, addictive balls of malted goodness called "Robin's Eggs" by the makers of Easter candy, you may find that there are no Robin's Eggs on the shelves. There are, instead, extremely similar-looking candies called "Speckled Malted Milk Mini Eggs." Now, this is basically what Robin's Eggs are, so you could be forgiven for saying "fuck it, buy generic" and picking up a bag. You would not be the first. Once you had purchased this cruel temptation, it would be understandable if you then opened the bag, and placed one of the little balls of sugar in your mouth. But I have walked this path for you, and I have come to tell you the truth:
Speckled Malted Milk Mini Eggs are NOT fucking Robin's Eggs, and whoever decided to market these things as if they were should be forced to drown in their horrific, slime-like pseudo-chocolate coating.
I suffer so you don't have to.
Point the third: My house is currently in the throes of a full-scale invasion. To be specific, it is currently inhabited by Betsy Tinney, her daughter Katie, SJ Tucker, Kevin Wiley, Alexander James Adams, and the people who normally live here. Plus my opinionated monster cats, who can fill a house all by themselves. On Monday night, the fabulous Amy McNally arrives. If we run out of coffee at any point, cannibalism cannot be far behind. You have been warned. Also, if fandom did reality show filming, we would so be prime time right now.
Point the fourth: Since A Local Habitation comes out in three days, and one of them is mostly over now, I have to warn you that I may go basically batshit at any moment, and need to be removed from the ceiling fixtures by men with tranquilizer darts filled with Diet Dr Pepper. On the plus side, again, Amy gets here Monday, and she will sacrifice herself upon my dark altar that you may all be saved. Be kind to her. She suffers for your protection.
Point the fifth: Here. Have a picture of Lilly and Alice, sitting together, without injuring each other.

I love your 50 essays on writing, I am not quite half way through them yet, and I look forward to the new ones as they become available. I also really love your short stories, but then I am a sucker for any ghost story that involves truckers, diners, and dark lonely highways. I was a truck driver once, so I'm naturally a sucker for that type of thing.
Sadly I haven't read any of your books yet. My local library doesn't carry them, and I just haven't had the extra funds to purchase any new books lately--although I did splurge and purchase elements of style for my b-day last month.
Finally. I didn't realize that other people had a deep addiction to Robin Eggs similar to mine. Gods help everyone if I can't find a bag of them for Ostara. I get one bag every year and sit and eat the whole damned thing. If If they don't exist any more or if I can't find them then the plague in The Stand may look like a simple head cold by the time I am done. MUST HAVE ROBIN EGGS!!!

I hope that when you get to read my books, they live up to your expectations. :)
"A Local Habitation" Spotted In The Wild

I work at a bookstore in Ontario and had the pleasure of shelving "A Local Habitation" when it arrived this afternoon.* It's perfect timing, because I just finished "Rosemary and Rue" yesterday. I'm looking forward to
twisting people's armsencouraging them to buy it.(*Since the book doesn't have a locked-in release date, we can shelve it whenever we get it)

4. Let's not forget about the cats too! My icon is my youngest, Oreo aka Booger Monster. {He answers to both names, but prefers Boogie.} I have 6 of them and a dog who thinks that she is cat. ^^;;
5. Tiaras are much ♥
