......... Too many free radicals.

Just like SDS from years ago. ( I know, I'm showing my age!)

Close your eyes when you eat them. All the colors taste the same.

You used 2 "*"'s. I thought we were all going to try and avoid the "*" consonant.

Anyone seen JonP lately? RPW came and went without our weekly proof fix. Simon, did you and Alec accidentally lock him up in Alec's collection room?

Haven't seen in in a few days. According to his profile it's been 6 days... he should be experiencing TDT withdrawals in the coming day or so.

Since a wee while I regularly get some sponsored status on Facebook from Masterclass, about some writing masterclass from James Patterson.
This one is so doing my head-in



The guy seem may have written some popular books in the past, but nowadays he seem to just let other write stories and add his name on the cover...

He still writes the Alex Cross books. At least the co-writing allows an unknown commodity get their name out there.

Since a week or so, I really srtruggle, on my laptop to get in "MY ACCOUNT" of ebay.
I thought that it was my antivirus, but no. Does anyone else notices that too?

The last weeks have been a little surreal for me. My book about SK is being published on Nov. 3rd in Spain through Penguin Random House, but the publisher started the promotion of the book two weeks ago during the presentation of Finders Keepers in Spanish. Penguin invited several reviewers, booktubers and bloggers to the main office and invited me to the Buenos Aires office to "attend the meeting" via video and present...King's book. And after 5-10 minutes of presentation they asked me about my book and the whole process for the next 50 minutes. I've been introduced to several editors and responsibles of other departments and started to tell me the plans for the release of my book in Argentina, which will be published in 2017 but I can't share the date yet. The plans include press media event and maybe a presence in a really major event (if this turns out real, I can't ask for more). On the other hand, I already got confirmation that the book will be published in another three countries (five in total for now) and the publisher is negotiating the sixth. I've been interviewed this last week and a journalist from the main TV channel in Spain contacted me and the publisher to interview me for the launching of my book. So far, this is way cool!

I even got permission from the SUPER talented Mark Stutzman to include in the book the piece he did for the cover artwork of Just After Sunset, which was not used at the end due to the change of the responsibles of the mkt department at Scribner.

Simply AWESOME, congratulations !

May we know what are the languages planned? Are english and french included?
edit : I read languages, but you wrote countries.

Still awesome nonetheless !

[carlosdetweiller]

That sounds great, Ari. Congratulations!! I'm very happy for you.

[picontin]

Congrats Ari!
So we can all expect a copie

[webstar1000]

SUPER COOL! Will it be in english Ari?

[Ari_Racing]

Thank you very much everyone! I'm super excited about it.

So far it'll be only in Spanish. I talked with my editor about it (since if published in other language one of the chapters should be edited since it contains information about Spanish publications as well as USA ones) and she told me that she'll keep me updated on the current negotiations.

[Brice]

This is fantastic, Ari! Congratulations!

[Ari_Racing]

Thanks, Brice!

I'm so proud of our Dt.Org Member Ari. I'm sure we are mentioned in the book.

[Ari_Racing]

OF course DT.ORG is in the acknowledge section. I owe this portal and several members A LOT.

[Brian861]

Good for you, Ari! I'd be very interested in a personalized copy in any language!
