Calling Contributors to the second group book - Please read this!

[D.M. Andrews (author)]

kdp = kooky delays possible ;)

[Kath]

I did spot that yesterday Jonathan. It's too expensive and not suficiently splendid though!

[D.M. Andrews (author)]

Kenyan dial-up protocol?

[Jonathan]

True, but at this rate our salad leaves will be turning brown and floppy :(

[Jonathan]

Kick Damn Publishers to get a move on?

[Kath]

I can't bear a wilted salad!
Poor Maureen too. Think of the chaos she could cause in the departure lounge!

[Kath]

If yours goes live before the group book Jonathan, I'll spit out me dummy and have a tantrum!

[Jonathan]

Or you could read it while you're waiting for the group book? *cheeky smile* ;)

[Kath]

I'm sure you know I'll be reading it - *indulgent grin*

[Jonathan]

I never assume anything - just so grateful people read what I write! I am very excited about this one - it's the longest thing I've written yet and I can't wait to see people's reactions to Maureen's holiday!

[Kath]

Looks like you'll have to wait :(

[Jonathan]

Yep, mind if I join you for some of your steak pie? :)

[Kath]

Grab a plate!

[Kath]

i feel like a six year old sat in the back of a car on a long tiring journey
"are we nearly there yet?"

[Kath]

So do I Kath. Daft thing is, I feel responsible! It's them!

[Marc]

I'll be sure to let you know if my new kindle upload started at about noon yesterday has finished before the group anthology too Ignite! ;-)

[Jonathan]

Another one? Come and join us, Marc. And ask nicely for some pie!

[Kath]

of course you aren't - although feeling something and knowing something are not always the same...
i think by now we all know that amazon moves in mysterious and not always consistent ways! or if we didn't, we certainly do now!
*sigh*

I'll happily join you but I'm not one for pie & pastries really!

[Jonathan]

Ignite wrote: "So do I Kath. Daft thing is, I feel responsible! It's them!"

Nobody thinks you're responsible - it's just so frustrating. I wouldn't mind if there was a message put up saying there was a delay of approx x hours. Instead, we don't know what's going on.

You can have the meat in the middle - Oh I spoil you lot!

[Kath]

At least I know there are a few of us in this together Jonathan. If I thought everything else was whistling through and our book was stuck it'd be more worrying. This is just frustrating.

Ignite wrote: "Sorry to tell you I am - more than twice! But you're a very polite boy!"

but he's still not the messiah

[Kath]

He's not naughty either - not like you! Oh, did I say that out loud?

[Jonathan]

Still here waiting. Had dessert, had coffee, had after dinner mints. Now, WHERE ARE THESE BOOKS?!

[Kath]

I''ve been here a whole 24 hours longer than you Jonathan. I'm cross - and they won't like me when I'm angry!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Uh-oh! Ignite is starting to turn green and swell up!

[Kath]

That's my prize marrow you're looking at!

[Jonathan]

The moral of this annoyance is:
'Never tell people your book will be out the following day. Wait till it's there in the store!'

Are we having marrow for lunch, tomorrow, if we're still waiting?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Ignite wrote: "That's my prize marrow you're looking at!"

I'm looking marrowly at it.

[Kath]

They can stuff it!
(The marrow)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I'm considering a marrow-boat holiday next year...

[Jonathan]

I hate this sort of wordplay - or am I just being marrow-minded? ;)

[D.M. Andrews (author)]

lol @ Jonathan

I hope this book's ready by tomarrow.

[Jonathan]

Haha,
I hope it's ready by next leek - OK, not so good!

[Kath]

Jonathan - you're pushing your luck with that one. I'd stop digging - the hole's getting quite deep already!

All the better to plant vegetables in.

[Jonathan]

Gingerlily, I was going to say that but I held back - it's just too...corny!

[Jonathan]

OK, enough with the veg jokes.
C'est (mange)tout!

[D.M. Andrews (author)]

Yes, let's put those to bed. They're not a patch on the old jokes...

[Kath]

i'd have joined in but you would all have beet me!

[Jonathan]

We'll still root for you, Kath, if you want to join in

[Marc]

Romaine where you are, keep peppering us with puns Cos I'm artichoking with laughter here

[Kath]

Oh Lordy - I've spawned a monster!

[Kath]

i think i am caper-ble of doing that Jonathan thanks :)

[Kath]

but i am all done now so that-shallot!

[Patti (baconater)]

All right you lot.

Leaf it alone.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Suddenly being stuck in a SAP course all days seems a relief.

[Kath]

You lucky, lucky man. I was just about to run away and hide!

[D.M. Andrews (author)]

You mean you were going to do a runner? ;)
