You have the perfect number of friends! Just got Murderland 2 the other day...looking forward to cracking that puppy open!
You take the fun out of kicking your ass...but it WILL be kicked.
By not putting most of the books I read on my shelf. And I'm sure you will beat me because this situation indicates a certain degree of indolence on my part. An indolence I am not sure I have the time or the energy to rectify. In fact, this post makes me sort of sleepy.
You jag-off, how did you get more friends than you have books on your bookshelf?I'm going to beat you.

It's petty and enormously relevant at the same time. I just use the tools I need for my work and I encourage anybody to do the same. If you can try to make your work visceral or fun as well as smart, people deserve that.
good luck on your book, Garret. mixed genre writing facinates me. that whole post-modern thing going past post into...
Thanks, Christy! The book is a hard sell, indescribable plot that it has and all.
I saw the promotion for Archelon Ranch in the 2nd Bizarro magazine, good job and good luck!

It's the only show that dared reveal that there were rakshasas among us.

But, in a similar weird vein to your search results, on account of my last name, my book has been rated one of Amazon's top humorous cookbooks on three occasions.
When I typed "Murderland Part 1" into my library's catalog search the first book that came up was "Life is a Fulfilling: The story of a Mormon pioneering woman." I think the Tucson Public Library system is sentient and has developed humor.
Hi Garrett and thanks for adding me as a friend. My bday is in July, too.....we 'moonchildren' are so creative, aren't we? Smiles,
Jeannie
as you're my friend and you're online right now, I'll say "Hello from Oxford".
I just ordered H8 so hopefully I can finish up the paper I am writing so I can start it when it gets here.
