dreaded questions, parts II and III

2. So, any thoughts about a TAG LINE?

This one is hard, I'm still thinking about what to tell you. So hold on.

3. Do you have a author bio for us to use?

Every bad girl instinct I have surges forth when I get this question. Oh sure, I'll write an author bio. Not necessarily MY author bio, but here goes:

***

The author lives on twenty ocean-side acres on Maui with her family, ten small dogs, and a household/office/garden staff of five. As her last three books stayed on the best seller list for two years each, she's not in a hurry to write the next one and so she spends her time in art classes and taking her daughter shopping.
***
When she's not writing, the author is on the set of Farscape, the critically acclaimed sci-fi television show which she personally resurrected from undeserved cancellation with the billions she made on her last novel.
***
Really, do you need to know anything about the author? Don't those wonderful cover blurbs from Candace Bushnell, Oprah Winfrey, Rebecca Wells, Alice Munro, Elinor Lipman, Jennifer Wiener, Annie Proulx and Ann Rice make it clear that you should be sprinting to the cashier with multiple copies of this novel?
***
While you are spending time reading this totally fictitious blurb, inside the book the characters are talking about you while they have great sex and good times. Ooops, too late. You missed it.

Anybody care to write my author bio for me?

I started this weblog two years ago today. As of right now there are 761 entries and 2,102 comments. Last month almost 7,000 unique visitors came by 23,000 times in all.

In that time I've written about 300,000 words: Tied to the Tracks is about 110,000 and Queen of Swords, thus far, just short of 200,000. That doesn't feel like a lot to me, but I'm trying to pick up the pace.

Back to work. More later about tag lines.
