It was quite cute actually. too bad you miss out.

Oh, believe you me...I know. Either I'm psychic or Kaiser-Kun has hit me by rep, PM and VM before and I've learned my lesson.

Holy Fuk! I was scared for a moment. I thought I knew this girl.

It got worse.

...I thought she was my ex.

I'm not gonna lie, I'd be laughing at you pretty hard if that were the case.

I'd be blaming him for driving her batshit. He looks like the kinda guy who's to blame for some pretty serious mental disorders.

Well, it'd explain her rejection issues. If you know what I mean.

On a different note, I want that puppy you have in your avatar. What kind is it?

HelloKiddo · Apr 23, 2010

It's sitting on top of his head and appears to be asleep. I had a dog like that once. You could put him in a dress and sit him upright in a chair and he'd just fall asleep like that, however you positioned him. He was a pretty funny dog.

It's a beagle, AKA Lamest dog ever. It has no fangs, or claws, or anything to scare other people. But attitude.

He looks like he's saying, "you people make my ass twitch."

I want one. I thought it was a beagle. What an adorable baby.

Yeah but you're just a miserable sod, not a complete bats-in-the-belfry-wheel's-spinning-but-the-hamster's-dead fruitloop-a-go-go at St Winifred's Home for the Mentally Bewildered case.

Well, maybe.

But I'm working on it. I still have aspirations, ya know.

Huggable, yes, but she's kind of a bitch.

Hehe. Bitch. 'Cuz she's a dog. And female. Got it?

scarletpeaches · Apr 23, 2010

I hope she pissed on your head.

Oh! The dog. No, neither.

That would also have been funny, but the pictures would probably be less adorable.

Especially if she had proper diarrhoea instead of just verbal.

This post can be marked as the exact point at which this discussion went from wrong to so very very wrong.

colealpaugh · Apr 23, 2010

My kid taught hers to yodel people to death. A beagle owner knows all about the power of the yodel. :Wha:

Maybe it's a good idea to capture the comment outing the truth. If I'm wrong, mods, please delete this post.

Jennifer Elizabeth Edlund

Her "Grand Central" book is actually GUNNING DOWN ROMANCE-- "published" by PublishAmerica.

http://www.publishamerica.net/product89020.html

And I totally feel bad for her. On fer Facebook page, she claimed a 15,000 copy print run. PublishAmerica probably took her for a fortune in editing fees, etc. And then when they finally sent her copies to review, she sees that it's riddled with errors etc. Which probably explains why now it's drastically marked down from $27.95 to $4.99

The novel that she's currently querying is BLACK FLOWERS

https://www.authonomy.com/ReadBook.aspx?bookid=19152&chapterid=187321#chapter

I've only scanned it, but what I saw was not bad. Maybe undistinguished. But if the story moves, it might be good genre fiction.

Still, I feel bad for her. She probably was taken in by the PublishAmerica people, thinking it was a reputable publishing company like, say Hachette/Grand Central.

And gosh, now she realizes that the query letters she's been sending out with PublishAmerica credit might be one of the things that are driving agents away from her. Yes, maybe she's guilty of not doing due diligence, but Ain't America a wonderful place?

Here's hoping her luck turns.

It wasn't me. I just copied a comment from the blog. My detective work was an epic fail!

"I met a new, sweet, sweet guy and we are going on another date tomorrow night

Things seems to be looking up..."
from the blog.

wonder how that went...?

OctoberRain · Apr 24, 2010

Gee. It took me about 5 seconds to look her up on both Facebook and Twitter. Her email address for both accounts matches the one she posted in the comments section of one of her blog posts.

A blog like this, you think she would have tried a whole lot harder to be anonymous.
