I just want to say that it is and will potentially always be very sad that if this site (the go to for lost reviews) just never posts a review on the finale. You should maybe try to make some time.. like maybe at 2 am when you are doing nothing else. Cause well it really needs to be completed. <br /><br />MarcMarchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15649038384369415271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-20771239966621880632010-10-04T15:47:10.611-05:002010-10-04T15:47:10.611-05:00SO E, DO YOU THINK YOU'LL LEAVE LONGLIVELOCKE ...SO E, DO YOU THINK YOU'LL LEAVE LONGLIVELOCKE UP AND RUNNING, NOW THAT TERRY O'QUINN AND MICHEAL EMERSON WILL BE IN A NEW SHOW TOGETHER?DANIELLEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-28319660505427036712010-09-18T14:57:15.560-05:002010-09-18T14:57:15.560-05:00SPOILER ALERT!!!

Here are...Garry -<br /><br />Sorry for the delayed response!<br /><br />Here are your answers:<br /><br />1) Yes, it will be available in most countries (definitely in the UK), but about 4 - 6 weeks after the US pub date of November 1.<br /><br /><br />2) HECK YES I am using my real name! After spending three years working on this freakin' thing, I'd be crazy not to. In fact, since the book is a retelling of a true story, there are several real people who are the "characters" in it (it's told from my point of view), which is part of the reason why I've had to go through so many rounds of careful editing/legal review.<br /><br />More soon (I hope... maybe...)<br /><br />- eErika (aka "e")https://www.blogger.com/profile/17051946388926947935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-60983353423295921042010-08-22T05:54:43.736-05:002010-08-22T05:54:43.736-05:00You're SO lucky , e!

Will your book be available in the UK? <br />2. Will your author name be the same as your actual name?<br /><br />All the best and don't worry about any nomarks(english slang for a nobody)!<br /><br />GCM xxGARRY UKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-69677007808182883292010-08-20T14:03:31.898-05:002010-08-20T14:03:31.898-05:00Hi there Anonymous -
Please note that from here ...Hi there Anonymous - <br /><br />Please note that from here on out I won't be publishing any rude or negative comments from anyone that doesn't sign in with a user account. There's enough negativity in the world -- we don't need any more, especially about something as silly as a Lost post.<br /><br />It's really easy for people to say mean things when they don't have to own up for them, now isn't it?<br /><br />Regarding your comment:<br /><br />1) You clearly have no idea how the publishing industry works if you think I am going to make ANY money from my book -- even if it is a best-seller. Do a little research on how much first-time authors who aren't famous rake in (I use that phrase sarcastically, in case it isn't clear). I'll give you a hint: it's less than I made in my very first job out of college in 1996. I will definitely LOSE money on this endeavor since I have several writing-related expenses already off-setting my extremely small advance. I wrote my book because the event it covers is important... so important that yes, I was in fact contacting some very powerful and influential people about it. You'll understand soon enough.<br /><br />2) If the fact that I'm not able to post my Lost recap yet bothers you so much, I suggest you just assume I won't ever be able to get to it and stop checking back. Because I still have no idea when I'll get a chance to work on it. <br /><br />3) If you are implying that the people who have followed my writing over the years in some way helped me be able to start a freelancing career, you are definitely correct. I would not have had the confidence to strike out on my own and leave a job where I actually made good money -- in return for, as I mentioned above, a job where I make hardly any money (but am much happier) -- had it not been for the encouragement of my fellow Lost fans. But I have never run any ads on my site, I've never asked for any donations, and my book has absolutely nothing to do with Lost or pop culture. The people who bought my book do not even know I write about Lost. So I'm sorry to say that LLL readers cannot take credit for getting me a book deal, and the sane ones already know that. The people who truly support me are content to wait for my final Lost post... and they're also the same people who will most likely buy my book even if they aren't interested in its subject at all. Whereas I'm quite positive that people such as yourself who seem to get off on yelling at and harassing me will immediately complain that my final recap sucks -- right after it's posted (even if it doesn't) -- and then I'll never hear from them again. So I don't really feel like I owe you anything and in no way are you responsible for helping me get a publishing deal for a book that has to do with my old job, my education, and my work experience. <br /><br />- eErika (aka "e")https://www.blogger.com/profile/17051946388926947935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-5824507836523653552010-08-20T13:41:55.433-05:002010-08-20T13:41:55.433-05:00I'm so glad you got to dance with Terry Oquinn...I'm so glad you got to dance with Terry Oquinn and talk to some of the most powerful men on the planet.
