A quick reminder...

1. If you want to reach me, please, email. Not Facebook messenger; not LJ messenger; email. If you don't have my email address, the "contact" form on my website is extremely easy to find, I promise. I get those messages.

2. That being said, I am not the world's fastest email correspondent. I do my best, I really do, but I have a) email from my day job, b) my personal mail, c) my business mail, d) Mira Grant's mail, and e) all my other mail to deal with. Expect at least a seventy-two hour delay on anything that's not urgent.

3. Unless you're my agent, my publisher, or my boss, I decide what's urgent when it's in my inbox.

I'm as slow as I am because, in addition to all the things above, I'm trying to write three books, keep up with the comments on this blog, make new entries on this blog, update my website, and two or three dozen other things at any given time. The only way I could answer every email I receive in a swift and satisfying way is if I stopped doing anything else. My publishers would not be okay with this decision. Honestly, neither would I, as I think my head would explode.

So please, if I am not swift in answering your email, be patient. I understand wanting a reply now now now—I do it too; I'm doing it right now, waiting for answers on some really cool website graphic possibilities—but I just can't. Not if you want me to stay on top of everything else.

Thanks for understanding.

Yup, I think you are kindness personified. You don't actually have to do any of it you know.

Though I admit I read Toby over Mercy because I know you and I don't know Patricia Briggs. Also, Toby seems more real to me even though I still like Mercy.

But I like it! Except when I'm too tired to like anything but my cats.

See you Saturday?

Maybe. You think it would be ok to bring the squirts? We have a wild weekend so I'm not sure I want to leave them with K for the night. They like music and books!

Super-belated, but:

All Borderlands events for Seanan books are kid-friendly, and I keep swearing to a minimum. Mira events are a little less kid-friendly, unless the kids are young enough to be safe to swear around.
