I'm going to give a little shout out to Peter for being such an awesomely involved commenter over at my book blog.  Even my mom decided to chime in the other day, though she used a fake name because she somehow thinks anyone knows or cares.  That's cute!  And I got one comment (and then juicy bit of book gossip later on in an email) from an author

unrelated but I thought you might like it.
