Enough Twilight already!

If one more pimple-faced emo-girl comes into the shop asking for one of the Twilight books, I am going to scream!

There are no Stephanie Myers books in Australia! There won't be until the end of January (at least!). That's plenty of time for you choose something else, something good, something actually WORTH reading instead.

So, stop asking or I will SCREAM!

I like your reasoning but if I did that the bodies would be 40 deep in the bookshop! And I don't think that would even start to make a dint in their numbers. They're like a horde of zombies... only less well read.

I have zombie phobia. Maybe it's good thing I stay at home more during the holidays... :P

And yes, they do say "I sooooo wish I was Bella". I say, what do you mean 'wish'? You're already a shallow two dimensional caricature of a normal teenage girl! How much more like Bella do you want to be?

Hmm. I'll send you some Stephanie Meyer name labels you can plaster on the unsold Hal Spacejock books. Reckon that would work?

LOL! It might fool them for a little while. Hal doesn't do too bad here though. I make sure any Pratchett, Adams, Holt and Rankin readers know all about it :)

Thanks! It helps authors a lot when there's someone on their side at the business end of the book business.

Put a sign up "Yes, we are hiding secret stashes of the Twilight books, we just don't want to sell them to you because:
A)We aren't in the business of selling books
or
B) You are boring us"

and mess with their minds a bit *smiles sweetly*
