Hullo all, Webmonkey here. Rexroth rattled my cage to let me know that Daphne’s hit a few technical speed bumps on the way to the overseas book fair. It turns out that the “World” phone that she got from her carrier is more of a “whirled” phone (in other words, […]
Not forever, just until I get back from my trip. As I mentioned in my live-blog yesterday: Please consider that any queries sent between March 19th and April 1st will not be looked at until April 2nd, at the earliest. I would consider it a great kindness if you just […]

A fun spring shoe you can pick up online at Piperlime for Jamie, who writes: I don’t just want to write my story — I want the story to be like an online phenomenon. Women everywhere read this stuff, and if they can fall in love with the author who […]
