My friend and editor and sister of the heart, Amy (or A.C. Adams if you’re nasty) has just released her first work of art. Empty, Not Hollow is a collection of short stories that will take your breath away and then bring it back 12 minutes later. Then you’ll notice that it looks like your breath and tastes like you’re breath… but there’s something you can’t put your finger on… AND THEN YOU REALIZE IT’S NOT REALLY YOUR BREATH ANYMORE. Her imagination is as dark as my own but even further reaching into the darker possible timelines of our future.
You may remember Amy from her old blog Fix It or Deal. Sadly she murdered that blog when it failed to bring her a glass of red wine late one night. The good news is that she also has a new blog called Amy C Amy Do and because it doesn’t yet know about her violent tendencies, they’re still happily coupled.
I had the pleasure of reading a few of these stories before they were available for mass consumption and there were times that I had to stop, put the book on my lap, pet my pets and marvel at her creative genius. Those times only lasted a few seconds though because my cat always bites me when I pet him and I HAD to find out what happened next.
If you’re into sci-fi you’ll love this book. If you’re into horror, you’ll love this book. If you’re into comedy you’ll love this book. If you’re into needle-working cutesy sayings onto throw pillows, I’m not positive, but I think you’ll love this book. Also, could you please needle-work me “That’s What SHE Said” with a penis for an arrow? And it has to be pointing left. Thanks, smooches!
Amy is hilarious and witty and charming and the smartest redhead I’ve ever known, which is saying something because every redhead I’ve ever known has been smart. My mother was a redhead and she was as smart as a whip. Anyway, I’m losing my focus here… go read Amy’s blog and buy her book and read her book and leave a five star review on Amazon about her book. I do promise you will love it. Right here imagine me standing next to Amy, holding my penis pointing throw pillow.
With a devoted fan like you, she is surely destined to turn every penis into an arrow.
That woman has been turning every penis into an arrow for years now.
Thanks GB!
SCOTT! You sneaky bastard! You didn’t tell me you were doing this! I am mind-hugging you SO hard right now. Can you feel it!? *squeezes harder*
I adore you. Thank you thank you thank you.
And, yeah, someone make him that pillow stat cause that shiz is hilarious. And I want that picture.
It was my pleasure Amy. I’m happy that you approve. Of course I feel your mind-hug. I’m a super sensitive mind-hugging Pisces you know.
Now we need pillows and pictures and we’ll be all set. That and publishing contacts!
Thanks Amy, I adore you as well!
What if you like sci fi and you like dark, but you can’t handle horror?
You’ll still love it. It’s not so horror-y that you’ll be up all night making sure that the phone call isn’t coming from inside the house!
Thanks Cassandra!
What? Another great book to read? How will I find the time? Will I have to come back from fishing? Will I have to give up writing, eating, sleeping? Will I have to give up CHORES?
Your book first. And then, if there’s time…
It’s about time that you came back from fishing. You now have all the fish that you’re ever going to need for the rest of your life.
You can never give up writing, eating and sleeping, those things are too important. Chores? You have to give up chores.
Thanks Diane!
