Comments on: Dispatch from Seattle http://www.susanwisebauer.com/blog/publicity/dispatch-from-seattle/ my progress as I write, revise, send to my editor, re-revise, fact-check, galley-read, and promote a multi-volume history of the world. While living on a farm, educating my kids, and teaching. And doing a few other things too. Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:35:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Bartender Brian http://www.susanwisebauer.com/blog/publicity/dispatch-from-seattle/comment-page-1/#comment-67630 Bartender Brian Wed, 25 Jun 2008 15:26:26 +0000 http://susanwisebauer.com/blog/?p=178#comment-67630 So another one of my favorite authors, Kat Richardson, lives on a boat in Seattle. She has a series called Greywalker. It takes place in and around Seattle. It's sci-fi/fantasy I suppose. Vampires and stuff. You probably wouldn't be interested. No plagues or black death. I like them though. I'm crazy like that. So another one of my favorite authors, Kat Richardson, lives on a boat in Seattle. She has a series called Greywalker. It takes place in and around Seattle.

How do you find the time to do all that you do?? I have just been introduced to your books, and I've read your bio. To say the least, my life PALES in comparison. How is it that I feel I never have time to do all that I need to do, and I am a stay-at-home mom with a bio the length of a single sentence, if that? I have decided to home-school my daughter this fall, and I am truly excited about this new adventure. This will, by the way, bring my bio to two sentences. Never been to Washington. I've always thought $2 was far more than one should be charged for using an ATM. Best Wishes, Abbie Apex,NC I have one question. How do you find the time to do all that you do??

We were tempted to move there right away. But did you know that (like NJ, I hear) they are not allowed to pump their own gas? We rented a car and went to fill it up and the attendant came up and said, "Step away from the vehicle!" I guess Washington has a no cell phones while driving law and I could live with that, but what's with a law to keep you from zipping in and out freely at the gas station? Protect the environment? (Right) What about the guy whose job it is to breathe the fumes all day long? My husband and I visited OR for the first time last year and loved it. We were tempted to move there right away.

My husband and I have decided to move there from Phoenix, and were a little concerned about the weather issues (not too much, as we're originally from MI). Your review confirmed our suspicions; we'll take less sun and far lower temps, thank you very much, if the alternative is 120 degrees and relentless sunshine (yes, really). As an aside, I so enjoy reading your blog. Your humor and outlook on many things mirror my own; and my husband said I don't have a sense of humor, LOL! Shows what he knows. Keeping my fingers crossed you can stay justthismuch ahead of us on your Story of the (Whole) World series! If you need an extra pair of eyes, give me a holler... :) Thanks for your review of the PNW, Susan.

Your talks were so enjoyable, just because you are fantastic in person! Hope you enjoy your stay here in our "can't decide if it's summer yet" city. Your kids will enjoy the troll under the bridge if you have time and I'm sorry about the service out here. Try Nordstrom (seriously, buy shoes) and you'll get a whole new view. Everyone else just attempts, Nordstrom delivers. (They do have a restaurant too.) Safe journey home and thanks so much for trekking all the way out to us. Pacific Northwesters are very grateful. ps -- how can we help you move out here? :) Woohoo! That would be FAB. Hi, Susan, it was great to meet you at WHO on Friday.
