Books and comics and book plates signed. Clue for getting your signatures sooner. First, don’t send more than three things. Three is the limit unless foreign then five items. The new lower limit you can thank people who abused the privilege by sending hundreds of book plates at a time for me to sign, or the person who sent in a box of books that was almost as long as I am tall. Guys, come on. I’m glad you love the books and you want my signature, but if I signed that many for everyone I wouldn’t have time to actually write new books. And I’ve also noticed that the people who send in 500 comics to be signed, yes you read that right 500 comics, are usually the fans who complain the most that I’m slow at signing. They are the ones most likely to berate my personal assistant, Carri, over e-mail, or when she made the mistake of forgetting that her phone number was at the bottom of her business e-mail calling her on the phone to yell at her about it. She has since changed her phone number to avoid such things and taken it off the business e-mail, because people have abused her, and the privledge.

Guys, be nice. How hard a concept is that?

Date night so I’m getting off here and throwing myself into my husband’s arms, and wearing this day away with something slow, and gentle. Some nights it’s more about being held and touched then going for the gold. Because I’ve been pursuing goals all day at work I want date night to be about wandering slowly towards that goal, not racing frantically. I’ve rewritten the last two sentences five times now. So I’m stopping now. Done for the day.
