crappity! Crap! I can't find the rug Fatima made that I borrowed to take pictures of to put on the website. . . . Did one of you steal it? Well? I promise, I won't be mad if you confess now. Guh!
If I did steal it, and I'm not saying that I did, although it sounds as if it's something I might have done, I'm afraid you will be unable to find it in the the disaster that is my living room.
I can check with my assistant to see if anyone has recently hacked into my computer. There may have been a document on there which details my plan to travel across the country, break into your house, and steal only one rug. It sounds like the sort of thing I might have written, and someone may have used that idea and cobbled together a plan.
If I find such a rug after I have lifted about three weeks worth of dog hair from my carpet, I will be the first to say that I might have done it and that I may be returning the rug.
But first you have to commit to only putting positive thoughts out into the atmosphere and supporting the sisterhood of, um, the sisterhood of cleaning-challenged Stay-at-Home Moms. MmmmKay?
To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines. We were surprised we did not receive official notification directly, but instead discovered it was posted on several RWA internet loops. Accordingly, we request this letter be published in its entirety in the RWR Report so all members may understand the nature of the process that eliminated Medallion as an RWA approved publisher. We will also send copies of this letter to all our own RWA member authors. We are dismayed you declared Medallion Press no longer a legitimate publisher. In July of 2004 we met all of your qualifications without incident by showing sales of 5000+ copies of USA Today Bestselling author Nan Ryan's The Last Dance. Several months prior to Book Expo America 2005, we received a call from your office alerting us to
A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing. Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them. But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber. Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.

wow you are clever. And sneaky, too, the way you put it in my car trunk like that.

I'm afraid it was my assistant who put it in your trunk. I'm still not sure I had anything to do with it.
