What Lyssa is far too polite to say is that she is MINE. (Well, at least when I manage to turn something in on time…)

Geez, you all know how to make a gal blush! As I always say, it’s all of YOU who make me look good! Thanks to you all for writing such amazing stories and making my job so fun (how else would I have lasted so long?!). And thanks to Emily for presenting you all so creatively. What industry can claim more talented women?!

Lyssa? Lyssa who? What the heck are you all doing blabbing about our secret weapon? Remember our motto, Mum’s the word when it comes to Lyssa. ‘Nuff said.

Hey Samantha “Dinosaur” James, I’m right smack in the middle of revisions and I beg to differ with you…She’s all mine, at least for the next day or so! But you are ABSOLUTELY right about Lyssa being FABULOUS and amazingly insightful. She has helped me so much! I feel very, very lucky to be in her stable of authors…Whinnying loudly and continuing the animal theme, Sophia

I’ve worked with Lyssa since my second book with Avon — you don’t want to know how long ago that was. She’s amazing (especially at crunch time) and is WONDERFUL to work with. I think Lyssa and I have the longest running editor/relationship at Avon. And hey, I’m okay with being called the dinosaur.

But hand’s off, gals. She’s mine–all mine.

Brilliant you two, as always. How do you manage to keep up with this? Through a newsletter from somewhere. I thought paper newletter-sign-ups were passe. Now, I’m convinced otherwise. Doh. Of course, it makes sense. The person’s right there. You’ve established first contact. Now capitalize on it with a bookmark from you and a likewise committment from them in the form of an e-mail address.

Emily, if you ever decide to read law, do crim-law. You’re terrifically persuasive.

Hi Teri, Thanks for the comment. I have suspected that this was the case, that people will be more likely to offer their mailing info when face-to-face and it’s easy to do.

Ha! Very funny. I had actually seen that one — the cat and Anne Boleyn’s skirt. Poor Showtime. Someone got a major slap on the wrist for that, I am sure.

Here is the link. Notice the area where the cat on her lap comes close to her leg. Oops!

Indeed, Bruce. Templating has its place, certainly, but it baffles me how a company can hope to differentiate itself with a template — which is essentially a clone. Who wants to tell their customers that they are just like everybody else?

Thanks for the comment!

FWIW,

Many of our new clients are business people frustrated by the poor results achieved from their DIY web designs.

Professional website design is about building a web presence that generates real bottom-line results. You can’t do that by filling in the blanks of some fifty dollar template…
