I worked in new acquisitions so the list got way to big to keep track of.

And I like your optimism. Living forever is now my new goal. And you just touched upon a subject of a future Confession. - Reading more than one book at a time.

I have been meaning to pick up Boneshaker for longer than I would like to admit. I absolutely need to pick it up as I really thing It's up my alley. Thanks Cherie for doing the interview with RLP! Thu, 25 Mar 2010 17:13:58 +0000 http://portland.readinglocal.com/2010/03/24/reading-local-interview-cherie-priest/#IDComment64065531 http://portland.readinglocal.com/2010/03/17/1076-raised-for-haiti-relief/#IDComment62794009 Earl, it was great to meet you. Glad you could make it. We certainly appreciate your support and look forward seeing you at our next event. It was a great night.

This was outstanding and wonderfully introspective look at what that part of being a writer/artist/publisher/bookseller is all about and what it does to you, what you get out of it. This was great! Thanks too, to RLP for sharing. I'm a writer, who'd like to be a published author and hearing about these types of experiences shines a light on the dark spots in my knowledge base and the sort of mental fortitude I may need to reach those places when it's my turn to tour like that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And Now I must find you books for purchase. Keep up the good work Jaret.

My wife and I are Fantasy readers and my wife is always on the lookout for great female authors. I will snag a copy of your book for her when it's out. I'll make sure Gabe includes your event on this Friday's Event list. This a debut Fantasy novel or do you have others out I can already look at? Thanks for stopping by the site.

I am hoping to get more and more folks to take part in the poll. It's not the best poll software, that's for sure, but I think it's important for Wordstock to hear feedback from Wordstock fans. Tue, 16 Feb 2010 04:17:07 +0000 http://portland.readinglocal.com/2010/02/09/wordstock-genre-poll/#IDComment57024551 http://portland.readinglocal.com/2010/02/09/wordstock-genre-poll/#IDComment56976135 Huh. When you are on Wordstock's main Wall on Facebook and you look at the poll can you click your vote for one of the highlighted blue options? Does it just take you to the invite friends page again?

I read her "How to become a Famous Author before you're dead." and her Short story in Portland Noir and loved them both. Her Book inspired me to try and start a Zine a couple years back. It unfortunately never went anywhere, but I still have dreams of doing so again. She's a great writer and the new book sounds intriguing, though I suppose I might not get as much out of it as my wife might. Who knows?
