tired2. While I'm asking for favors...please don't link me to Goodreads or Amazon reviews. I really and truly try to avoid reviews on those sites, because they just make me sad and twitchy. (Yes, there are excellent, erudite, well-composed reviews in both places. But the number of mean or thoughtless reviews is very high, and frankly, I don't have the energy to filter through them looking for the good stuff.)
3. If you missed the Deadline book release, or if Toby is more your cup of tea, remember that I will be back at Borderlands Books this coming Saturday, appearing alongside the fabulous Ben Macallan (aka Chaz Brenchley). He's asked me to join him so he'll have a partner for cards if no one shows up. Let's surprise him by having EVERYONE show up. I'll be reading from my new Tybalt prequel story, and there may be some awesome unexpected giveaways...
4. Everyone on the Wicked Girls shirt spreadsheet should have received their initial emails at this point. If you don't have one, please check your spam filter, as the email from Deborah (coming from a Gmail.com address) is somehow not getting to you. If you think I may have the wrong address for you, please let me know ASAP.
5. My house is an absolute disaster zone, and I'm going to need help cleaning out the closets soon. If you're local, not allergic to cats, and think spending a day going through the things I have shoved into my shelves would be fun, drop me a line. This is less "cleaning" and more "de-cluttering, purging, and organizing," which means it's less physical labor, more Tetris for the live-action set.
...so in short, please be patient, and I will try to deal with all emergencies in the order in which they were received.

Also, I personally would never yell at you for delayed responses. I think it's amazing that you manage to reply to as many comments as you do as it is.
Also also, I'm still working on this, but here's the first two verses:
The zombie Rising started in the year two thousand and fourteen
And despite the world's best efforts to keep most everybody clean
It spread worldwide within days and set millions to shambling
And though everybody ran and hid the virus kept on rambling
Well, we blamed the Kellis lab, and we blamed the CDC
We blamed all the governments, and we blamed Marburg-Amberlee
But when the dust had settled and the fingers had been shaken
The blogosphere rose up to ensure the world was not forsaken
