I loved the music video. You're right, humor helps.

What a shame that they don't really perform wearing barrels.<br /><br />And yes, having your book out there is the scariest thing ever! Start practicing now how to handle comments of all sorts with aplomb and charm:<br /><br />"I know your book was based on real events, but I didn't like what happened." (Smile)<br /><br />"I thought there might be vampires or zombies in it, but there wasn't." (Smile)<br /><br />"If I liked historical fiction I would have liked your book, but I don't, so I didn't." (smile)<br /><br />And in spite of all that nonsense, someone will tell you how much they loved your book, and it will all be worthwhile. <br /><br />Enjoy the journey!!!Dianne K.

I can't wait to read your book either. I'm thinking of holding it as I walk around town going, do you know Linda Grimes? Seriously, you don't? I don't know how that's possible, she wrote this book.
