When I arrived at the offices of ECW Press in Toronto, everyone was all smiles. They showed me around the city a little and took me to lunch. I didn't even have to pay! The chick to my left with the good taste in glasses is my evil editor, Jen while the gal to my right is the ECW publicist, Amy.

Later I found out that the truism of "never trust a redhead" certainly applies to Jen. All I did was merely ask if for my next book we could up the advance to half a million dollars and have her come and be my live-in housekeeper for three years as part of the contract. As you can see here, Jen was being completely unreasonable.
