   Crossing everything.

   As a former book publishing lackey, I know how authors (and agents)feel when this process starts.:) Good thoughts beamed!

   Everything that can be crossed will be, but I suspect this deal is in the bag. The writing's too deep, too rich, and too strong for it not to be.

   I've long felt Kristin could be successful with this sort of writing in the same way Henry Rollins has been (and far beyond). I'm betting that a short time from now, we'll all be saying, "See?"

   Go, Kristin!

   Good luck. I'm sure it will be fine. I've deliberately held off reading almost all Paradoxical letters. I'd rather read the personally autographed book. ;)

   They are reading it on the spiritual festival of Diwali. I don't know if thats relevant.

   I know from my interest in my favourite authors that success comes from the luck in finding an editor/publisher who connects with the work as much as it does from the talent. That editor is out there somewhere.

   I can't wait to read this book so will be seated in lotus position surrounded by candles and beaming positiveness for as long as my joints hold out, and possibly while I'm catching up on the ironing.

   Considering that the excerpts emailed out as The Letter almost always made me laugh and cry.... I don't think she'll have any problem getting it published.

   Well I am a British publisher who went the the London show and loved the readings. If you want to include me on the list of editors who get to see it I'd be delighted!

    The book hasn't been published yet. I'm sure we'll be the first to know when it's available to order.

    Thank you jediroller...after reading further I figured out that the book isn't published yet. I just got so excited, that I guess I got a little frantic...don't want to miss anything you know?! Thanks.

    Each and every single excerpt from the book has been inspiring, funny, scary, truthful, unexpected ...in short, amazing. I've been following K's work for a long time but the quality of her writing here has been on another plane entirely. Truly. It's phenomenal. She deserves so much success with this book.
