Hi, Anastasia! The book sounds terrific. And I'm also a Buffy fan! (Did you hear Sarah Michelle just had a baby? Our little Buffy is all grown up!)

[anastasiahopcus]

Yeah, I'm so glad she has her own happy little family now! (BTW, I lived in L.A. years ago and I had a friend who got a day player role on Buffy, and she swore that Sarah was the nicest actress she'd ever worked with. She personally took my friend on a tour of the set and asked her to sit with the main cast at lunch.)

Oooh! Your book sounds amazing! Can't wait to read it.

Thanks so much! I'm really looking forward to getting ARCs so I can send one on a 10'ers tour.

I'm actually from Austin, TX. But it's pretty close!

Hi, Anastasia! SHADOW HILLS sounds great, and I absolutely love Gogol Bordello (I have the biggest crush on Eugene Hutz)!

[anastasiahopcus]

I totally second that crush! The last time I saw them Eugene Hutz took his shirt off partway through the show and I did my best not to squeal in excitement.
