So, Friday night I got home and checked the mail, and there was a note in the box that said they tried to deliver the package, but the box was too small, and I'd have to pick it up at the post office.

So, I was already late for something, but the post office was going to close in ten minutes, so we drove as fast as we could -- I even ran a red light (but it was only barely red) -- and annoyed my wife with the crazy driving.

And I got to the post office with one minute to spare, and got inside, and, for some idiot reason, the phone company had mailed me a phone book.

So, still waiting...

Sounds like fodder for your new book.

Moshe nixed him. So yeah...a lot of details at the end have changed (and all other mentions of the brother are gone), but it's still the same overall.
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

He had a brother?  Now I want to read the old one!

lol.

First, SE:  Book is on the way.  (Though, I'm not sure how often I'll do this.  I'm willing to send off copies like this for people I don't see often and who are good friends, but even sending it media mail cost me more than I made off the royalty.  This would be a quick way to lose money.  See:  http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript?SK=135)

HoM:  25exp for a clever, but ultimately futile, attempt at saving the party.

Tekiel:  Eton (the Mad Prince) will make an appearance in the extended DVD edition of ELANTRIS.  (Or, well, he'll show up on my site in the 'deleted scenes' section of the ELANTRIS goodies page.)

You are annoying.  I still haven't saw it anywhere.  I hate how everyone always talks about having this book or that book like a month before it actually comes out.  Then I go look for it and don't find it.  I think I will special order a copy next time.

Just for kicks, I finally bought the book--in California. Now the Aliso Viejo Borders only has one copy left. Mwuhahaha. Or something.

I'm trying to get a few copies sold in Ohio.  What other states do we have covered?  Virginia, Maryland...?
