Well, folks, cometh the hour, cometh the book.

I'll be quivering over here in the corner, eating chocolate pudding continuously, until further notice.
Addendum: Also a nice piece here by the lovely Rachel Kramer Bussel.

I expect my copy of Swish to arrive by the end of the week, and look forward to it tremendously!
I hope you enjoy your chocolate pudding; it's probalby among my favorite comfort foods. It's very important to choose a good comfort food when quivering in a corner, and I believe you've done well, no matter how unjustified your quivering may be.

Just ordered a copy off Amazon UK, along with a copy of Gay Haiku, (may as well make the most of the P&P charges, no?)
I probably want to get 'The Divine Comedy' finished before they both turn up though or I may never finish it... The intrigue of gay literature may draw me in more than the joys of Heaven and Hell.

Holy H-E-double hockey-sticks! I'm expected to take delivery of Swish and the best-selling Spanish cook book for the last 30 years as of next monday... I want them now!!! Seriously, though, I'm very much looking forward to reading your book, and the pudding-gorging is a lovely idea, if the pre-release events have been that horribly scarring. Enjoy your jiggly food, your new dog, and success!!!

See you tonight. Bring some pudding for the rest of us.

I was very pleasantly surprised this evening when the ball and chain finally got around to mentioning that I'd gotten a package from Amazon today. He was between me and the table where the mail was, but I'm sure he'll recover. In time.
I would like to say something nice about the prose, but I had some trouble getting past the photo on the jacket cover. When my partner looked up from the floor to ask what was wrong, I said, "Damn. Faustus looks good!"

Congrats. I'm glad I made it to your reading tonight. I am so happy to be a part and witness to your success. Here's to more.

Lovely interview, sir--but why is this Radar article surrounded by photo ads for Gay Chubby Dating (accessible via www.GayChubbyDating.com, the ads helpfully note)? Is this a plot to make your portrait appear [even] leaner? Does Google AdSense somehow recognize a target audience based on the mentions of quivering, pudding and Cold Stone Creamery? What is behind these machinations?
Oh, and nice pecs. :)

When I went to Amazon Uk to order my copy they said the only had 5 left - so maybe that book tour to the UK may come to pas after all

Damn, I was all set to be at the bookstore at midnight just like a Harry Potter release, but I got the dates mixed up. Well, time to hit Amazon, I guess. Congrats!!

three things:
1. i'm guessing all the shaking and quivering is nothing more than some clever new calorie-burning technique you've devised, the secret of which will be revealed in book three.
2. i could've used you today when the question came up at work as to which was correct: "none of a, b or c," or "none of a, b and c" (i went with "and"--and please tell me i made the correct choice because we could lose the brazilian deal otherwise).
3. i will be at "a different light" in west hollywood at 7:30 this coming monday evening if i can possibly manage it; whether i'll reveal myself when you sign my book is still an open question.
