Nic: My book’s coming out soon.
Me: I’m aware of that.
Shay: Don’t you mean our book?
Nic: Yeah. Okay. Our book. But you know women readers go for the hero.
Shay: No. Women readers go for the kickbutt heroine who’s smart enough to pick a hero who isn’t a doofus.
Nic: Gee, thanks. And while we’re arguing, she’s ignoring us.
Shay: Oh yeah. Hey. Our book is releasing this month.
Me: *sigh*. Yes, I know that.
Nic: You’re not paying attention to us.
Me: I’m writing the next Demon Hunter’s book. And I’m giving you plenty of attention. Big splashy ads everywhere, and I mentioned the reviews and look–your cover is over there.
Nic: I’m way hotter than the guy on the cover.
Me: *rolls eyes*. Sure you are, Nic.
Shay: The girl on the cover doesn’t even look like me.
Me: Yes, she does.
Shay: Does the cover make my butt look big?
Me: You can’t even see your butt on the cover.
Shay: Yes you can. In the running shot on the top.
Nic: I like your ass. I think it looks great.
Me: I’m trying to write here.
Nic: And that’s your problem. You should have scheduled the entire month off so you could talk nonstop about us.
Me: No
Shay: We want readers to know what fun they’re going to have reading our book. About the nonstop action, adventure, demon hunting and romance.
Nic: Don’t forget the sex.
Shay: I’ll never forget the sex. So anyway, how will they know if you don’t tell them?
Me: Right now they’re finding out how irritating you both are.
Nic: We’re not irritating. We’re helping you promote.
Ryder: Hey. If you two are done bugging the hell out of the Creator, I’ve got weapons in hand, ready to storm a castle here. Could you butt out of my book and get back to your own?
Nic: You wouldn’t have a book if it weren’t for us.
Ryder: Your book would have sucked without Angelique and me in it.
Angelique: Yeah. We only had a secondary role during your book. Now your book is done and it’s our turn. So if you don’t mind, we’d like to wrap ours up. Don’t interrupt the creator.
Shay: Is their book going to be better than our book?
Nic: Nobody could be better than us, babe.
Ryder: Heh. You have no idea how good our book is. Enjoy the glory while you’ve got it, Nic, because our story will blow yours out of the water.
Me: I have a headache. And if you all don’t go away I’m going to turn off the computer and read a Nora Roberts book.
Hunting the Demon releases August 28th.
