Julia Spencer-Fleming--you are TOAST!

I marked my calendar for the date I SHALL NOT WANT went on sale. I hunted around three bookstores --all of which were out of stock by the time *I* got there.

I schemed to get my paws on that book!

I would have lied stolen and cheated if I thought it would produce results!

Finally, I hit on the idea of entering a drawing sponsored by your publisher, and thank all gods known or hereafter invented I managed to WIN!

It arrived in my office today.

I didn't do at least three things I should have because I wanted to get my eyeballs into that book.

So I read it.

And now I can't wait for the next one.

And it's a year or more away. A YEAR! 365 days! 8,760 hours!! 525,600 minutes! Someone should write a song about that kind of brutal time frame! Oh wait, they did.


Toast, Julia Spencer-Fleming, you are TOAST!!!!!

    Would it help if I said my agent also wishes I was writing two books a year?

    Thank you for clarifying that the picture in question is indeed a slice of toast.

    Julia S-F, you are one million different kinds of awesome, and if you wrote two books a year, I'd still feel like it wasn't enough.

    Big props from a fellow Julia.

    Hmmm, I've never heard of this book before. Guess now I have to go find it! :-)

Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.

If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.


Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.

If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
