I'm working on a list of ALL the readers I've had grace the In The Flesh stage since I started hosting th e seres in October 2005 (the one on this site is woefully out of date).

We've also got 80 mini Sugar Sweet Sunshine cupcakes, Ferrer Rocher chocolates, candy c...

I had thought with Dirty Girls, my first book with pre-publication galleys, they would, but they didn't. Guess if that's what I want I've gotta stop with the erotica. Am I ...
