the clue is in the tymological root, 'submit'

back in '50 shades' territory again I see

[Matthew]

Is it too late to submit something for this?

[Kath]

It's in the final proofing stage Matthew. We said end of September - but there'll be another next year I'm sure!

[Matthew]

Sorry, I've only just joined in!

[Kath]

You can be first to submit for next year!

[D.M. Andrews (author)]

I missed it last time, Matthew - but there's always next year...unless of course the economy and our unsound debt-based money system totally collapses ;)

[Matthew]

Funny, I saw four guys on horseback go past my window about half an hour ago...

[Kath]

That'd be Kindle, One-click, Debt and Lack-of-housework!

Now why does this premise sound so familiar.....

;-P

[Andrew]

Can't believe it's nearly here - really can't wait to read this one!

[Kath]

There's some amazing stuff in it Andrew. (Not least yours!)
Hope to send it of to Darren tomorrow. (I started that with 'have it off' but I know how you lot think!)

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Do you have a release date Ignite?

[Kath]

Hoping to get it to Darren tonight or tomorrow - then it depends on how long it take him. Being as I don't know exactly what he does with it (or I'd do it myself!) I can't say how long that will be. Shouldn't be very long though.

[A.L.]

Yay.

[Kath]

Is Patti there? Proofreading notes? Pretty please.

[D.M. Andrews (author)]

Did we decide on a cover? :)

(images of my good self and my book covers are available *grins* )

[Patti (baconater)]

Sorry Ignite. Major (okay not in the grand scheme of things but in my own little world they are) problems here. Internet died last night, woke to no water this morning, worked my tail off with only 20 minutes non-contact time all day, ( I know you know what THAT means!) no electricity at school from 11-4 and was 28C ( I know you also know what THAT means ie very cranky and hot students),got home, had to go to Internet place to get that sorted, got home again, walked in the door, electricity here died. Still no water. Has been a major water main fail just done my street. Said on the radio it'd be fixed by 4pm. Is now after 7 and still no water.

Starving. Must eat. And try to find my sense of humour...

[Kath]

D'Oh! Poor Patti. well, I've been through it all twice. Hope it's ok now.

The cover is an oak tree picture by our Emma.

[Kath]

Book, blurb and cover have gone to Darren now.
He'll be the one in the corner scratching his head for the next few days!

[Kath]

I'm already getting a little flurry of queries from my right hand man. He's finding out how random I am!

[Rosen]

I've finished my publicity shot.
That's a real Grumpies™ (name changed) on my head.

[Elle]

*stares at boobs*

[Rosen]

Ah, but you have to scroll past all the adverts to get to the boobs - clever, huh?

[M.T.]

Ouch, I feel for you peeling that off! ;-)

[Elle]

Ha very clever.

All joking aside, you are very beautiful Rosen!

[Rosen]

What happens when a Grumpie™ is pealed off? That's the sort of question that my submission answers.

Louise-Lesley (Elle) wrote: "All joking aside, you are very beautiful Rosen!"

Thank you. Although, I have to admit that I do have a photographer with my best interests at heart! ;-)

[David]

We don't all have to pose in a little black number for this book, do we? Not sure I could pull it off as well as Rosen!

[Rosen]

Ooh! I could post every author a Grumpie™ and we could do a series!

[Kath]

my face looks grumpy enough without needing extra help ;)

[Rosen]

Kath wrote: "my face looks grumpy enough without needing extra help ;)"

That's what the patches are for...

[M.T.]

I thought a grumpie was a pooh... Phnark. Is it some kind of face lift thing then?

[Rosen]

You'll have to read the book to find out. ;-)

[M.T.]

Excellent, you made it up! I will look forward to reading... ;-)

[Patti (baconater)]

*smirks*

I've already read Rosen's story.

[Kath]

I thought the sticker looked rather fetching, Rosen. Makes you look a bit like a Star Trek Alien. Better than a partially melted Mars Bar anyway. Do you speak Klingon?

[Tim]

Actually, very minor tweak to the hair style, and Rosen could be the FMC in my submission. Replace the slinky black dress with a slinky black uniform, add some personal artillery...

;)

[Kath]

Yes, I do see what you mean Tim. Feisty lady your FMC. I liked her!

[Patti (baconater)]

I believe her personal artillery is just out of the shot.

When are we going to see other people's publicity shots?

[Kath]

They are shy! You don't get publicity by being shy.

[David]

I can provide a cover for my story, but not a sultry publicity shot!

Do you have access to black police-style combats, utility belt & kick-arse gun? Oh, and a wimpy stick-insect Private Pike lookalike to stand in your shadow. I'm sure we could work something out...

[Rosen]

Ooh ooh ooh! We could all do each other's - like a secret Santa. You pick a random author out of a hat and you have to made their promo pic!

[Kath]

You'd have to know what the story was about though. So you couldn't do it till you'd read the book?

[Tim]

I've fired off a spec to an illustrator chap I know. Be interesting to see what he comes up with, although it'd cost money.

[Kath]

would be nice if these promo things mentioned the group as it is a group book...

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Kath wrote: "would be nice if these promo things mentioned the group as it is a group book..."

Absolutely Kath. However I have already seen a couple of blog entries for the book so I have high hopes that everyone is going to pull together to make this number one in the amazon charts.

I do still believe in Father Christmas and the perfect woman :-)

[Patti (baconater)]

Yes, Simon. You have spent time with me.

[Kath]

So Patti, you are the Sanity Clause?
