Robin Becker's BRAINS

Robin Becker's debut novel BRAINS is coming out in May, so of course we got galleys recently.

When I slithered over to Robin's blog, she'd posted about getting hers. Robin just cracks me up.

Robin's Galley has a twin sister here in New York:



The Herpet-American assssistant
gave Galley a welcome to FinePrint squeeeeze!






Galley immediately wanted to visit the BestSeller shelf!






Poor Galley! She wasn't used to the high life. We found her flopped over, pages askew, clutching a bottle, whispering "I love my editor." We cleaned her up, and put her with some of the other Galleys so she'd have company, and friends.

    I am engouraged to note that Galleys have fine taste in adult beverages, whether brewed or distilled.

    I'm just glad you feed the Herpet-American assistant regularly or Galley's visit might not have ended so happily.

    Can't wait to get my gray matter engaged by reading that memoir.

    BTW, I'm also drooling to get my hands on the June release of the Zombeatle mashup, PAUL IS UNDEAD.

    My Favorite Band + Brain munching antics = DOUBLE AWESOME.

    I too have been known to play dress up and pass out between two puss-um... cool cats, after partaking.


    The Adventures of Galley and her Doppleganger was cute. Thanks for sharing.
