Thanks for the grin! I’m attending my first conference, signed up for “pitches” – and hadn’t a clue! I never did take myself seriously, and still haven’t a clue – but plan on having fun anyway! See you there!

Not that I’m behind reading my mail or anything, Deni, but I just found the link to this pitch and came over to take a peek. Am leaving now, still giggling…Pat

Jacqueline, thanks for your comment. I haven’t “taken myself too seriously” since my first published book, when my Walker editor suggested I second-mortgage my house and go on the road, my car’s trunk filled with books. At the time, my PR consisted of handing out bookmarks – with the dinner tab – while waiting tables at The Olive Garden.

Denise,

Thanks for making me smile. Every once in a while we writers have to remember not to take ourselves too seriously.

All the Best,

Thanks for posting, Marshall. I’ve heard your third book – FLIPPING OUT – will hit the shelves this April. I adored The Rabbit Factory and Blood Thirsty, so I’ll be first in line to buy Flipping Out. I’m sure I’ll start LOL-ing (and that *is* Laugh Out Loud-ing) from page one.

Deni, That was a laugh and a half. The 3 DL posts at the end are out-loud-funny (I refuse to contribute to the glut of lols in cyberspace) and scary-real. You’re like Robert B. Parker on estrogen.

LOL at Love is Murder (that one is okay because it means Lots Of Luck).
