Saw you liked Trainspotting, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reading my new novel and posting your comments here (as well as on a few other book-related sites). Thought you might like my novel since it's also about a group of disturbed kids and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

MONSTER RALLY is now available at Amazon.com, as well as local bookstores.
If you would be kind enough to give me a small hand in promoting myself, I would be ever so grateful. Just point your friends in my direction, maybe suggest that they check out my author site or the book on Amazon, both of which they can reach through my LT profile.
And yes, there are zombies in it.
Thanks for your help!

I met my sister over my Mom's house and put the costume on. The doorbell rang, it was already pretty late, so the trick-or-treaters were teens. I opened the door as Rorschach ...to stunned silence! These kids were SCARED, seriously scared, took a step back and went "WHOA." They were REAL hesitant to approach until my sister came out with the candy!
That following summer, I forget the year, probably 1986 or 1987, WATCHMEN was collected in Trade Paperback by DC Comics, but Warner Books had not yet issued their trade. My sister was working as an Admin. Asst. for Warner Books, and Alan Moore stopped by to discuss the Warner Trade with her Boss (I'm just guessing at the reason, actually).
While waiting for her boss, my sister struck up a friendly conversation with Moore. No, really! LOL! She had NO IDEA who he was, but when he explained to her about Watchmen she said "Oh! I know that. My brother dressed up as the Inkblot Guy for Halloween!"
Instead of being annoyed, he got very excited! He was negotiating with Warner to do a Watchmen Movie even at this time (BOY did I go nuts over THAT tidbit!) but he was afraid it would look silly as live action. He asked if I came across as scary, and she told him about how I scared the shit out of the teenage trick-or-treaters by just standing there.
He was THRILLED! This validated for him that a live action Watchmen was in fact doable.
My sister came home from work and said to me "You'll never guess who I met at work today." As you can imagine, I went apeshit, LOL! I was mortified that she called Rorschach "Inkblot Guy" to Alan Moore's face, but BOY was I thrilled that my costume made an impact on him.
I wish I still had a picture of it, I did a damned good job on it, but my book of Halloween Pics is lost to history in a backpack that got left behind during a traumatic night when I was dealing with a near-death experience... a story for another time!

The easiest way to I can see to show the time line problem would be to make the end of chapter 1 seemless with the beginning of chapter 3, you know like having 1 & 3 be one long chapter split with chapter 2. While at the same time make sure that chapter 2 refers to the death 'Yesterday'.
Many people reading these kind of stories expect a little play with the time so using the above trick to give clues.
have you read 'Beyond the Shroud'? it's a wraith book by White Wolf and might give you other ideas.

But the publishers already have the addresses, so if it's wrong, it'll be sent to the wrong place... Change it for the future, at least though!

How is The Late Hector Kipling coming along? I too, am a fellow bookseller (amongst the many other hats one wears in an indie bookstore.) Very curious as to your thoughts on Kipling. And Deathly Hallows if you're done with that too...promise not to give anything away if you are not yet finished!
Best,

Glad to know that the cockroaches haven't gotten you. Hope things calm down a little for you there soon so that you have time to breath.

In case you couldn't tell I am horribly bored at work and looking for some funny to get me through the next 3 long and boring days.

Ok. So not really incessantly. However, I do pop over there every so often and feel a rush of disappointment (hmm...wonders if that's still laying it on too thick but is trying to stimulate a response...perhaps get a blog post starring me: weird blog stalker girl. lol) anywho...as I was saying before I interrupted me....I feel a rush of disappointment when there is nothing new.
If the cockroaches have attacked then send up a flair or something and I am sure some kind, concerned New Yorker will come to you aid post haste!
Signed,
weird blog stalker girl who you've gotten addicted to your ramblings of life in new york, cockroaches, and the pending zombie apocalypse.

I added you to my "interesting" list recently (I see you just added me back) and wanted to pop round and say thank you. :) *looks around* What interesting tastes we share in library materials! Oh, and it is -always- a pleasure to find someone who is as delightfully sardonic as i am on a blog! (yes i read it, it's not changing my life yet, but it might.)
I've seen you around in some groups we have in common. Just read your post from the GD about fifth of november. V. Did you do anything anarchically disturbing to the general masses/cockroaches/bookstore customers? I really must find me one of those guy fawkes masks, then i could have wrecked more havoc in traffic today and Really made those soccer moms nervous. *small smile* Ah well, my driving must do for that i'm afraid. Come to think of it, I'm sure it does. *chuckle*
Anyways enough random rambling, spattering glittery gibberish to mark your page. It is lovely to meet you, ellevee. Yours is a page I will visit often, if only to wonder/wander about aimlessly at your library.
Much bliss (even if it comes in a small cockroach-killing package).

So I went.
And while my life was not changed...(contempltes: can I sue for false advertising??)...so while my life wasn't changed I was highly amused. This amusement has led me to look back often.

Ok...so I get odd stares anyway, I'm used to them. But its work. And work is boring. So when I laugh they know that I am not working. And for some reason bosses don't like it when their peons aren't working. Though for the life of me I can't understand why.

I didn’t see “League” mostly because I suspected it would be horrid! It sounds as though I was right.
And I was indeed curious about your user name, and now I know.
Cheers.

Anywho, I see that we share the same ardor for V for Vendetta, too. What a great book and movie! I know that Moore was less than enthused about the movie adaptation, and the Americanization of some of the plot, but I’m very glad it got made.
Well take care, oh, and STOP SMOKING! Just because Thompson did, doesn’t mean you have to. ;-)

I bought it years ago. It reminded me of Pennywise the clown from "IT". I am not terrified of them, I just hate them with a passion.
And I just assumed when there were no stars that it did mean a person had not read that particular novel yet. Either that or it was complete shit but then why would a person even admit to owning it. I'll stick with the first part.
And lastly: lucky you and congrats for your intership. I write. I write like a fiend. We all should write. Everyday
Ok.
Goodbye
