    Sure, everyone can get a cut. (If you knew how little they paid for the book in the first place - I could buy everyone on the Forum a latte from Starbucks. Or maybe not.) I just want the Pearl Jam book to sell.

    hey, she could have us help her write the 'about the author' blurb on the back of the book...eyed did that!
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I'm going to order this book, it sounds like an awesome read, but I can't wait to read the Can't Keep book. I wish you all the best with this book and I hope your dream comes true of publishing Can't Keep....the publishers don't know what they were saying all of us Pearl Jam ladies would love to read about your obsession, as we are all obsessed!!!!! Good luck :)

    Thank you. I don't want a book about a woman obsessed with Michael Buble. Boring. Some people ask me - Oh, is it because you think Eddie Vedder is cute? And I say, No, it's because I really like the band. Duh.

    If you want to write a book about a woman obsessed with The Who, I can probably offer a few suggestions. \m/ :P

    Ha ha. I bet the publishers would say the same thing. "What women would want to read a book about a woman obsessed with The Who? Michael Buble or Justin Biber - now people would buy that book."

    Gack. (I would buy a book about a woman obsessed with The Who in a heartbeat.)

    Believe me, I still don't think it's real. Is it real? And if I can do it, you can do it. Good luck.

    Thanks for the bump. Here's a photo a friend posted on FB. Her comment: "How to make a flight go by in the blink of an eye? Read Ann Lewis Hamilton's funny, thought-provoking novel, Expecting. (It even comes with a hand so you don't have to hold it.)"
