....from some website in England....!? Wow, that's news to me, I had no idea. People find all kinds of weird stuff and tell me about it.... Gem just sent the PDFs for the second one off to the publisher a minute ago. Last time, they had the proof copy ready in just a few days, we'll see how long it takes them on this one!

Yay. Thank you! I just don't get how they came up with the $46.21 figure. It seems a little arbitrary....?

Nice one Lex! Damn the luck, I won't be getting a book that expensive.

Nice one Lex! Damn the luck, I won't be getting a book that expensive. It's strange -- list price is $18.99, then there's some sort of discount on Amazon, too. Is shipping to England THAT expensive? The Brits should just fly over, buy a copy, and go home!

It's because they appreciate your humor and writing style over there more than the "I don't know what to write" types over here!

Congrats! Do you take checks? You'll have to ask Amazon! They're the ones selling it! I take checks but you probably won't get anything in return except a hearty thank you....!!

I could say the same thing about "neighbor" and "flavor Glad to see that your book is doing so well hun.

Dancing, I tell you, from midnight to 7:00 a.m., because they like the Arby-Qs....

What was your first book about Lex? I mean is it fiction or non?

What was your first book about Lex? I mean is it fiction or non? It's about a guy who comes home from work one night and goes to bed. The next morning, he, his dog, and his house are a mile and a half away from where they started out the night before. So he decides to investigate. I mean, that's what I would do in that situation....!!

Wow. Hrrm. I used to have things like that happen back when I drank to excess. One morning I woke up with a guy and I didnt know who he was so I snuck downstairs real quiet and found his mail on the table so I could see what his name was. It turns out he was a cab driver and I had climbed in his car and passed out so he didnt know where to take me. Good times.

What was your first book about Lex? I mean is it fiction or non? It was one I could not put down. I have read it twice now.
