Well, my third book drops tomorrow, and the advance reviews are every bit as vehement as the reviews for my first two were! *whew* Such a relief. I was worried that my work had changed, or my taking risks wasn’t going to pay off, or something-something about <insert fancy literary term here<\/em>> not being <other literary term<\/em>> enough. But it’s all good. Check out these glowing endorsements!<\/p>\n

“It’s…what? Awesome? It’s awesome. Now, can I take your order?” –Bernie, the waiter at Red Lobster.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“You’re famous, mom.”–some kid who says he’s my son.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>(He looks nothing like me, but I think he lives here.)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“It’s never gonna stop, is it?”– my shrink.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
