tired1. All the damaged Wicked Girls CDs have been claimed, although some are still pending payment. It's highly unlikely that any more damaged CDs will show up; Mom and I have checked the boxes thoroughly at this point, and it looks like the unpleasant surprises are over. Thank the Great Pumpkin.
2. I am mailing the last of the paid-for "Wicked Girls" posters tomorrow. This means that, if you are waiting for a poster, you should have it in approximately a week (all the posters being mailed are going to US addresses). If you have requested a poster but not yet paid for it, you have ten days before I delete your name from the list, and release any held numbers back into the wild. If you're not sure whether you've paid or not, you can always contact me.
3. I'm going to be setting up my final pre-release giveaways over the next week or so. Finances are forcing me to restrict them to US addresses/international addresses only if you're willing to pay for postage. I'm really sorry about that. It's just that it costs me approximately three dollars to mail a book inside the US, and outside gets very spendy, very fast. Specific rules to come.
4. I'll doubtless be saying more about this later, but as we're getting into the period where people start getting excited about Deadline: I do not have ARCs. I am not going to have ARCs. Please don't ask me for them, please don't comment on other giveaway posts saying you'd take an ARC of Deadline instead of the stated prize, just please, please, don't. There are no ARCs of this book. I'm not holding out on you, I just don't got the goods.
...and that's our administrative junk for the night. Join me next week, when "administrative junk" will probably include port and drunkenly yelling at my rambunctious kitten.

Oh, and yes, we are continuing to thrust copies of your books upon friends and relatives. And getting them hooked *evil grin*
When Cora got her eyes dilated at the ophthalmologist, when we went outside she commented "Now I feel like Georgia." I love my geeklings...
BTW, I sent you a message through your website contact, but can't remember if it's one of the more or less reliable methods of reaching you. While looking up information on polio because of a random question from a coworker, I saw that one of the famous people listed as having had polio is Rosemary Rue (Dame Rosemary Rue), the last person in Oxford to contract it. She was a prominent physician. Thought you'd be amused if you weren't already aware.
