Author's Notes: THANK YOU to Megan and Zoey for reading super early versions of this (it's evolved a lot, definitely) and most importantly, Monica, who's been nothing but supportive. Also any of you that stuck with me as I live-blogged writing this. Forever. I would also like to note I know very little about the publishing business. Carry on.

"Sometimes, nothing ever works out at all." - Mediocrity, B.A. Dalton
----------------------------------------------------
"There's something about the enigma of B.A. Dalton, the faceless author that pens these softly spoken novels. No one quite knows who he is, where he comes from, but there's thinly veiled sense of curiosity that surrounds those who pick up his books and read them. Much like a lot of contemporary writers B.A. has a distinct style and voice. His characters are always lost and usually never quite find their way, and he balances such heavy-hitting emotional content with quick wit and sharp dialogue. Any fan of Dalton's will accuse the author to being the root of many a sleepless night and tears, because while he's one of many new writers emerging out of the twenty-first century, he is, without a doubt, one of the most resonating.
Most will tote that Mediocrity might be Dalton's best work, but as a faithful reader, fan and ultimate critic, I choose to believe that he's just getting started, and the best is only to come." - Blake Miller, Huffington Post
