From all of the teasers I've read, the book sounds really good. I'm really looking forward to it being released. I now have loot from 3 authors in my collection. I never meant to become a collector of author swag but it happened.

I don't know about ARCs -- when they'll be available or IF they will be available. Have to wait and see. My editor was in cover art meetings recently so I know that's in works. As soon as I have more info, I'll let you know. For now, I have two days worth of writing on Book 2 to make up today. Yippee skippy. See y'all in Sunday chat!

I have Kim, Vicki and now Jeanie. I really don't want to go too overboard with this. I don't have the space for it or the time needed to keep up with a lot of authors. What I have is special.

Maybe one special thing from each author? I'll see what I can do. Ya gotta have Lita and Charlaine in your collection, right?

Omg I'm so sad! My stupid internet was spazing when you guys were talking about the swag! *cries*
*Mods don't kill me for going off topic, but I had to share...I got little Bermuda shot glasses that were hilarious (Bermuda's national pass time is drinking): TAKE ME DRUNK. I'M HOME AGAIN. SURRENDER THE BOOTY. (with a pirate on it) CAUTION: INSTANT SEX MACHINE. JUST ADD ALCOHOL. DRINK UNTIL HE'S CUTE. Deb- my brother also collects shot glasses.

I will also be off topic.....Nat, we get him a shot glass from every place we go on vacation. He has one in the shape of a cowboy boot from the stockyards in Dallas.
Now back on topic...

Since I've gotten about half of my minimum page count done and am breaking for lunch, I thought I'd pop in to answer a couple of questions: Jeannie, do ya think you'll be a complete spaz on release day...or cool as a cucumber? Um...complete spaz, definitely. I'll probably lie in bed all day, curled in a tight ball, sucking my thumb, and babbling incoherently. ;D Yeah, Jeannie...gonna get more nervous as the release day gets closer? or it's sorta surreal and u can't believe it's happening?? I'll probably get more nervous as the release day gets closer. Right now, it's all still sort of surreal. Whenever I go to a conference and sit on a panel, I always have a fear that I'm going to sound like a dork or a babbling idiot. And for the record, I hardly ever remember what I say during a panel so if you asked me to repeat something later, I probably wouldn't be able to tell you. I think it's a defensive mechanism 'cause I'm actually a very shy person and public speaking isn't my strongest point. I'm getting better, but I still get stage fright before every conference.

Jeannie - is there anything else for you to do for Blood Law or is it entirely finished and out of your hands? I have never really grasped the timeline on these things! I think it would be maddening to be editing/finalizing one book and already be writing another but I get the impression that is how it goes?
