I’m not talking about people who listen to Ann Coulter–does anyone actually take her seriously anymore?
We got copies of the next TJB book SOMEONE LIKE YOU. The real book, not the advance reader copies. And someone opted to change, from our WRITER-APPROVED typeset, “Famous Author Rob Byrnes” to “famous author Rob Byrnes” in the acknowledgments. He has been lower-cased! Clearly, someone is bitterly jealous of his place in the writing firmament.
I mean…unless our editor John did it. In which case, John is brilliant and Rob doesn’t care and neither do we and just keep publishing us all, etc. etc.
Ann Coulter eats children and welfare mothers … seriously, I heard that is how she keeps her fabu figure.
She also has a Joe McCarthy Blow Up doll … seriously, she said it on Bill O’Reilly —
She kicks miniature ponies, too, I think.
Oh please! She runs her a private glue factory in her basement … and wears puppy skin coats too! We call her Little Annie Evil
Oh yay! I have never been listed in acknowledgments before! Now I’m especially glad that I included you and Teej in mine!
Speaking of which… will this week EVER end?! Will I EVER get this book done?
Signed,
Famous Author Rob (101,000 words and counting) Byrnes
Au contraire, my friend. You have indeed been listed in acknowledgments before, though without your Famous Author title. I’m sure you’ve READ all of our books, so perhaps your modesty forbade you to check the acknowledgments for your name. (heh heh, busted…)
Wait a sec! I have the oeuvre… although I’ll admit to skipping the acknowledgments from time to time. (I usually look when I have an expectation of seeing my name, but my heart has always been broken.) And perhaps I’m still a book behind. Damn! When I get home I’m gonna check it out.
But, yeah, that makes me *sort of* busted.
