BTW, you got a great review in Kirkus, which is what lead me to your site! I'm a librarian in a suburban public library, and I've put in a purchase order to add your book to the collection. Spread the luv, PQ! PQ, I would definitely go to a Chicago reading!!!

I am running it, as I hope you will recall (I know it's tough to keep up with all your fans =) but I am also staying with my niece-in-law, who lives in Carmel and is also running the race. I am going to email her and explain that Friday night I will be spending with my internet friend who wrote a book, and hopefully she will be cool with that. I also have to clear it with my hubby. BUT, girl, I am going to do all I can to make it to your party. I will be honored to be there. Oh, and I'm sure we won't be racing that Half any where near each other. You have been smoking me on your min/mile times. I'm still in the mid 11 minutes for long distances. I hear, though, that the Indy Half is shoulder to shoulder the majority of the race, so we'd probably lose each other in the crowds anyway. So meeting you at your book party will at least guarantee me a chance to meet you, even if it's not at the race. So excited for the book to come out!

It's an Aussie email address ending with "au". You have probably already deleted it. Sorry. It's the heat in Australia, so warm, so hot, so tropical, it affects my brain. Hope its not too cold in the Northern Hemisphere. Later <b>PQ - I wouldn't delete you! I want people to sign up for the mailing list, even if they aren't eligible to win the galley copy.

I know asking you to come out to California would be a stretch, but I bet you'd have quite a following. Plus, think about all the fun sites you could see. I ordered a copy of the book on Amazon, but would be very interested in getting an autographed copy. I'll follow your new book website to find out more details on how to get the book directly from you. <b>PQ - I would love to visit California, and I might be out there for the BlogHer conference in July.

Plus, I've already read the galley. I love your book. I've recommended it to lots and lots of people. I would love to participate, but it wouldn’t be fair since I work for your publisher!

And hell YEAH I would go to your release party!

Especially since Indy is within spitting distance from me. I can't wait to read your book! I would totally be there if it weren’t held on the weekend before finals!

I would love to buy an autographed copy of your book. I live in Canada though, and sometimes the shipping costs seem ridiculous!
