There's an LJ entry from Lynch somewhere where he laments how book one turned out; he made a detailed involved world with roles for women, and lots of non-white people of various types. Then, for the first book, accidentally wrote an entire book with just white dudes in it. Book 2 does a lot better on the girls score.

If I'm not mistaken, we had a graft from that tree on our farm when I was growing up, though it is now long since gone to that delicious pie in the sky. You might get a smile out of this treatise on British apples. One need not be an apple-grower to admire the author's enthusiasm on his subject; he loves a poetical epigraph almost as much as one fancies he loves his cider (http://goo.gl/eQ9rE).

Calibre is an incredible program - and has been getting steadily better over the years. But I just wanted to chime in here and note that Scrivener is also about to be available for those of us who have yet balked at the prospect of making the leap to the Mac platform: http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivenerforwindows/ Hear, hear.

Especially being able to compile manuscripts into ebooks, when I'm working on a book I can compile the draft and put them on my family and friends kindles and iPads for review. Much easier than handing out printed manuscripts. <a href="http://clancytales.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Wagging Tales - Blog for Writers</a> I love Scrivener!

Apple nerds may gasp at the St Lawrence begat the McIntosh claim. I think it's more like the Fall St Lawrence and the Alexander is one guess vs. the Snow or Fameuse with the Detroit Red as the competing notion. But really, it's a mystery until they get down to genetic testing. And I'll be rooting for you October 1st, maybe even in the crowd :) Love this!

I only knew one, but could have guessed two others as I could recognize the way Lisa Kleypas writes. I just haven't read her earlier books yet. After this, I think I must read "It Had to Be You" by Phillips. I cheated. I only knew one, but could have guessed two others as I could recognize the way Lisa Kleypas writes.
