* Whine alert. *
In between bouts of day-job assignments, I’ve been calling local Borders and B&Ns — not to set up signings, I swear, but to find out the name of who to give an advance reading copy of HOTTER THAN HELL to. Honest. Really. That’s it.
I hate automated phone systems. Truly.
And I’ve also been poring through the thousands (okay, hundreds) of names/emails from folks who were awesome enough to sign up for the Demons & Zombies & Weres (oh my!) Club RT raffle at the RT convention, and my eyes are glazing over. Dang, that’s a lot of emails. I mean a LOT. My paper cuts have paper cuts.
Cue day-dream music.
I want a hellion. I want someone to do the administrative parts of being an author. I want someone to make coffee runs. I want someone to put all the labels on the mailers. Heck, I want someone to print out all those labels on the mailers. And buy the mailers. I want someone to walk with me to the post office. I want someone to fetch me chocolate. I want someone to scroll through my emails and help me prioritize. I want someone to fetch me more chocolate.
Sigh. I want a hellion. And I would love the hellion, and call the hellion “George.”
Okay, okay. Enough with the whining, Kessler. Back to reality…

I’d be your hellion. And you couldd call me anything you like if there was a job perk that included getting to read your books early.

You are HONESTLY having trouble finding someone to take your ARC?? Are they freaking batshit crazy?? If your hellion could do all of that printing and mailing, etc, long distance you know I would be there for you Jax and you can even call me george, LOL, cause I love that cartoon.
BTW Chocolate can be ordered and thereby “fetched” long distance, i have close intimate experience with this phenomenon.

Hello dearest Jackie,
If I lived closer I would so help you out, Tricia and I both would. I wanted to say that it was great seeing you again and that I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and DH.

Jackie, you know I would be your permanent hellion (if I could) but there are not enough hours in the day. But, if you called me George, I would hide all your heels so you would permanently be shorter than me.
