Ink Scratchers review of Flicker!

Jade over at Ink Scratchers, a fabulous book blog, has posted her review of Flicker... and she liked it! A+! (Which is really saying something, because Jade is an incredibly honest reviewer, which I adore. If she doesn't like something, she'll say it flat-out, so I'm deeply honored that she rated Flicker so highly.) Seriously, I'm freaking out over here!

Good reviews make me feel like Aquaman!
 You can read the review of Flicker here, and you can read my guest post on Ink Scratchers (as part of Indie April) here. And you should really go follow Jade's blog--she posts great reviews, she updates often, and she's just a great person!

Oh, and before I forget, I got a Twitter account today! Feel free to follow me. You'll get all kinds of kooky updates!

A Note On Proununciation:

Some people have been wondering how to pronounce Filo's name, so let me clarify. It's pronounced with a long "i" sound--it rhymes with "Milo," "Shiloh," and "grain silo."

(Fun fact: I first heard the name when I was in third grade, and we were learning about Philo T. Farnsworth, the inventor of the television. I fell in love with the name, and I filed it away in my mind, finally using it when it came time to name our own Filo Shine. I dropped the "P-H" because I didn't like the way it looked.)

First book signing ever!

Tomorrow, that is. So exciting!

Details: I'm having a book signing at Hastings in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, from 1-4 p.m. I'm hoping for some of my friends to stop by and say hello, and hopefully to meet some new people!

 I'll try to take some photos and post them this weekend. :D

(Also, while I generally don't like Christmas music all that much, I'm a sucker for "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," and I've just discovered August Burns Red's version. WOW. I'm listening to it on repeat as I write this blog. Why can't all Christmas music sound like this?)

Oh, and one more thing. If you haven't liked Flicker's Facebook page, please go check it out! My personal goal is to get up to 100 likes by the middle of May, and I know we can do it!
