Chris: Wow. I did read the summary. Sounds like a good book. Kinda dark, though, don’t you think? With the zombies and the end of the world and all?
Chris: D? You still there?

Subject: Another Starred Review!!!
Zane,
Yep, Edge just got its third star, squeaking in just under the wire. That’s a star from all the major industry reviewers so far. Well, except Kirkus, but Kirkus doesn’t like anything.
Congrats!!!
Your very happy editor,
Alicia
P.S. Trish tells me you haven’t sent the new photos in yet. Can you do that ASAP, please? Thanks!

Chris: So, about those “casual” photos the publisher wants. I’m thinking “man bun.”
Daphne: I’m thinking “hell no.”
Chris: Sumo ponytail?
Daphne: Not even answering that.
Chris: I’ve started growing my hair out, in case I need to do any in-person promo. I’m going for a sexy golden mane thing, Chris Hemsworth, circa 2015.
Daphne: Or Fabio, circa 1990.
Chris: I’ll schedule a haircut.
Daphne: Thank you.
APRIL 24, NINETEEN DAYS TO PUBLICATION
Chris: Got the haircut. I feel like I need something different for the photos, though. Maybe a full beard. I think Z would grow one up there in the winter. Nicely trimmed but full and bushy.
Daphne: A hipster beard.
Chris: That sounds like a no. Maybe a goatee?
Daphne: Definitely no.
Chris: How about scruff? A little sexy too-busy-to-shave scruff.
Daphne: Stop. Just stop. You look fine.
Chris: Hold on. I haven’t shaved in a few days. Let me send you a pic.
Daphne: That’s not really necessary.
Chris: Too late! What do you think?
