I’ve been outed, so take a look
Sigh. I’m kind of a freak about my privacy, which may seem strange since I talk about semi-embarrassing and personal things on this blog from time to time. (I will not link to any of those. If you don’t already know what I’m talking about . . . good.)
But this morning I found out my *other* webpage has shown up on someone else’s blog, so we might as well play show and tell.
Yep, that’s me. Yep, that’s my book. Those are my opening chapters. There you have it.
I’m going to go hunker down now and be shy for a little while.

Wow, what an awesome site they’ve made for you! Everyone, be sure to check it out. And is that the most kick-ass cover EVER or what?
Welcome to the jungle.

Goodness,Robin,you have nothing to be shy about! That newsletter promo looks great. I also like the book cover(first time I’ve seen it),as Borat would say”Very Nice!”

(love the lipstick!)

Hey, there you are!
Great cover! Why haven’t you been sharing it?
November 16th, 2006 at 10:13 am
Thanks, guys, one and all. I appreciate it!
November 16th, 2006 at 11:00 am
I thought you were a tall black woman with dreadlocks. Apparently I was wrong.
Cool site! I can see why you haven’t wanted to share that….
This is when people sometimes use that expresion “NOT” but that sounds kind of dweeby to me. Or at least so 80’s/90’s.

Patrick, some day your face is going to show up on the internet when you’re not expecting it. Then we’ll talk.
November 16th, 2006 at 11:30 am
Did you know I won the internet from Al Gore in a game of five card stud?
November 16th, 2006 at 3:56 pm
DUDE!!! That’s TOTALLY SWEET!!!
November 16th, 2006 at 4:01 pm
Thanks, Lizzie!
November 16th, 2006 at 5:56 pm
Squeee!!!!
That is incredibly cool, Robin. I love it! Great excerpts. You must be thrilled.
And it is so nice to put a face with the chocolate.
(My new eye glass frames are similiar to yours…)

Thanks, Heather!

rb, fyi, although i have nothing but the upmost respect for lady t, and although i thoroughly agree that borat would find your bookcover (as well as your lipstick) “very nice” that is not the endorsement i would necesssarily recommend that you pursue. rather, i would flag down a winnabago with a bunch of totally wasted frat guys (or alternatively show up on the beach in cabo over spring break and approach a bunch of s**t-faced sorority girls, lifting their tee shirts) and ask their opinion. and then change EVERYTHING you are doing or will ever do based upon their advice.
November 16th, 2006 at 10:16 pm
Robin, you really should post a link to your website when you comment here. Your name isn’t blue like the rest of us…I believe you called Diana on that, so I call you.
November 17th, 2006 at 6:22 am
Annette, I still haven’t seen Borat yet, but obviously I must.
Patrick, like I need more smart assery in my life.
November 17th, 2006 at 7:18 am
How wonderful! The fact that they’re already pushing this hard for you is a GOOD thing.
Do tell them though that they need to copyedit:

I know YOU would have caught that one.

My mind has the strange ability to skip incorrect words. Here’s what I read -
“Patrick, I need more smart in my life.”
I’m here to help!
November 17th, 2006 at 5:10 pm
BJ, I didn’t see that at all. Thanks. Proves once again that you can look at something over and over, and still not see.
November 17th, 2006 at 8:09 pm
bj, you are awesome–random house should hire you. i ditto patrick’s observation/suggestion re linkage (not assery).
November 19th, 2006 at 6:38 pm
No, no, it was assery. But she’s got to link to the new site somewhere on this here blogomachine thing.
November 19th, 2006 at 7:06 pm
Yeah, yeah. It’s there in the “About” section–a link off the book title. Happy?
And keep in mind that some day soon when the discussion feature is open on the biblegrrrl website, I expect to see you all over there discussin’. Got it?

Where’s my ARC?
November 19th, 2006 at 8:00 pm
Funny thing about that. They sent me only two ARCs (Advance Reader Copies)–apparently they’re sending the rest out to real people (reviewers, book clubs, etc.).
So unless you’re real people, Patrick, I’m afraid you’re out of luck. As am I.
We are only pretend.
November 20th, 2006 at 11:13 am
what am i supposed to do with the huge box of arc’s random house sent to me?
November 20th, 2006 at 5:54 pm
C’mon Annette, we’re not real. We’re just these two characters that Robin made up for her blog.
November 20th, 2006 at 6:12 pm
Sssshhhhh!!!!
November 20th, 2006 at 7:47 pm
damn you patrick!!!–i’m meelllting….
