I don’t think I’ve ever used a semi-colon in a blog post title, and you know what? It felt good. Darn good. Liberating. A gleeful punctuational rebellion aimed at the new establishment’s anti-semi-colon prejudice. THEY CAN’T KEEP US DOWN!!!!
*blinks, glances around*
Okay, now that I’ve gotten that out of my system, what I’d like to get into YOUR system is—
That sounded creepy, didn’t it? Like, really creepy. As in, you’re picturing me in an open-throated, open-chested white silk shirt with tufts of bushy chest hair and some tinted shades leering at you like an extra in Boogie Nights. Or maybe it didn’t get creepy until that last line.
At any rate, THE NIGHTMARE GIRL drops at midnight, and friends, I really want you to check out this story.
I’ll talk more about it soon, but for now, here’s the gorgeous cover:

And here’s the link where you can buy it for only $3.85 (digital) or $11.20 (paperback). Or just get it anywhere else books are sold. They should have it. If they don’t, demand that they stock it, and if they refuse, they’re probably the same zealots who oppose the semi-colon.
Have a good night. I’ll be practicing my semi-colons and grooming my chest hair.*
*I don’t actually have chest hair. NOW I’ve freaked you out!
You are really excited about this one, aren’t you? I’m having a great deal of fun watching you launch it. Can’t wait to read it. (And, you’re right, the cover is fantastic.)

PS I love semi-colons too. ‘Don’t think I’ve used one in a title yet though. I love how you keep throwing down these challenges. 🙂
