Huh.....

Note To Self

Note To Self: www.google.com ~ REALLY DOES WORK!

I've had an interesting day. I went home to take care of my outfit/nonshower situation and decided to check my personal e-mail (I can't check it from work). I was startled to find an e-mail addressed to me from the author of a book I read some time ago. A book I basically BASHED OPENLY on my site back in November. Read here to see what I wrote.

This was the e-mail I received from Ms. Jessica Barksdale Inclan:

Well, I happened upon your blog, and I was very sad to see what you thought about my second novel The Matter of Grace. However, I would very much like to send you my new novel--maybe you'll think I am a better conclusioner after all.

All I'll need is your address, and I'll send you Walking With My Daughter. It just came out last week.

Are you shocked? I FUCKING AM! Hello? Did you, I, me, us, oh my God THINK it was possible that she'd run across my mean testimony about her book? NO. No, I did not. I won't take back what I said, because I still feel jipped on the ending of that book, but I will say that I am welcoming her new book, Walking With My Daughter, with open arms. I'm anticipating a great book that's gripping and even comes complete with an ending I approve of.

Even if I hate the new book I'll still like Jessica Barksdale Inclan. How brave of her to write me, her blogging book hater, who openly bashed her literary child on line? Not only that but she gave me the inside scoop on the real story behind the character in The Matter of Grace. I will now sleep peacefully. Lastly ...eh hem... she's very intelligent, with a very impressive bio, and I'm just a college flunk-ee who can't figure out where to put commas. Oh and of course the free book and the fact that her name is Jessica...always helps.

I'll keep you posted on the new book. She actually has 5 books. I didn't know that and now that Jessica and I are best friends -- I'll most likely be pool side this summer rating her other book endings.
