Home, gearing up for book tour, exhausted.

I will post happy cheery reminders about today being the release of Parasite very soon, but I just woke up after staggering home way too late last night (delayed flights in Orange County, whee), and wanted to drop a few admin notes before I forgot:

1. If you want to send me a private message, please, please use my website contact form rather than using LJ or Facebook messenger services. I have trouble replying within those forms, which often translates to "I won't reply within those forms." (I don't have a no-reply policy for LJ, but I do for Facebook.) My website contact form goes to my PA, who answers really simple questions like "where can I buy this?" and forwards everything else along to me. I answer as quickly as I can.

2. This LJ has an open friend/unfriend policy. Yes, it makes me sad when people I know IRL unfriend me, because I am a human being living in a human world, but I won't hunt you down with torches and pitchforks to demand to know why. At the same time, if you remove me from your friend list, I will remove you. Please don't unfriend me and then get mad when I do the same to you.

3. And while I'm asking for unreasonable things, please wait until I get the official Parasite discussion post up to start commenting about the book. I want to keep the various threads safe for the spoiler-averse for as long as possible.

And now I nap.

Question about asking questions. Recursiveness!

So, is it all right to ask a question about something you discussed in person that hasn't yet been officially announced? I had a question/comment about one of your future books that I don't believe had been discussed before than, but I don't want to say something that might be problematic. (Yes, you talked about it, but things change.) Of course I'm being overcautious. Its only paranoia until you figure out who is out to get you. And the list is never complete.

Am suppressing commentary about new book. This is not easy. I will say that your skill as an author is clearly progressing, which is great.

It's better to be over-cautious, and if it hasn't been announced, it's best to either email me or ask only in person.
