I love Penny Arcade! It’s Geek Heaven.
Of course, I have two teenage boys. So it’s required reading over here.

Eeee my literary world is bleeding over to my gaming world! Make it stop!
Hmm word wall18.. I’ll build one if I have too!
Love for the boys of Penny Arcade, as always. Someone on the lkh_lashouts blog mentioned that Laurell has a link to PA on her webpage.

Fact of the matter is, if the second cover means a bigger print run and sell-in than the first because one major retailer has concerns, then I say YEAH for Cover B! Sell more books!! No one is going to…
Excellent book. Got it in mail Friday afternoon and had finished it by midnight Friday. Thanks so much.
