“Desert: I’m a standard reviewer. No producer of a book has ever not sent me a book requested and I get more than that. If your book editor somehow does not want to allow me to have a copy, then you have something strange going on there!”

The literary agent I have started to work with is new to me; she wants to send out Advanced Reader Copies so that we collect short “blurbs” for the front matter. I want to send the manuscript out in Microsoft Word format so that the “blurbs” don’t take another year. It is frustrating seeing how long it takes to get a manuscript turned into a book. I had no idea that writing is the easiest part of the process.

sorry for the OT Greg

Radically off-topic, damn me to hell. I would like to have Greg review the book, but my book agent said she must approve all such things. Gosh.

The movie I am in was released around two weeks ago, and several people have been attacking me, my domains, my web servers, and some of my friends. I will need to get a security audit before my book is released, as it will enrage more emotionally weak morons.
