Two advance copies of Shortpacked! Book 3 (preorder it now!) arrived via FedEx this morning for me. Like, they were sent from Hong Kong yesterday, and now they’re here. I know we have, y’know, jet planes and what have you, but that still seems magically fast.
The books are beautiful, as always!
I’m told that the rest of the books are going on the boat next week and they’ll arrive over here near the first week of June. … and if you recall my history, they’ll spend the next 2-3 weeks in customs. It’s going to happen. Let’s just resign ourselves to the inevitable.
This morning I’m on the road at 8am to get my ass to Troy, Michigan, by noon. Penguicon is this weekend, and I’ll be at Howard Tayler‘s table. Look for the two guys in brightly-colored Hawaiian shirts. One, a successful breadwinner. The other, an awkward manchild. Randy Millholland (Something*Positive) will also be there, and he’s written a very informative comic strip about it.



You know Troy, MI is Graham and I’s home town, right?
I’ve only visited him there like 30 times!

You should have the next book feature Robin and Leslie making out and call it “Shortpacked: We have lesbians and stuff.”
Never commented before, but this made me literally laugh out loud. I was beginning to think I was the only person who ever noticed the presence of autotune on that horrid show.
