Nasty, wicked, tricksy writer.
On Facebook just now...
Friend who has read my book: *posts picture of her husband playing with adorable baby daughter*
Me: "I love how {baby} looks so happy in all the pictures you post!"
Friend's Husband, with whom I don't think I've ever communicated before: "Alyson, WHY YOU {references something that happens in Charlinder's Walk, and which I will NOT spoil here}?"
Me: *not quite sure what he's on about for first 5 seconds or so*
Me: *oh now I know what happened*
Me: "{Husband's name}, why would you bring up something horrible like that WHEN YOUR BABY DAUGHTER IS CUTE IN A PICTURE?!"
Husband: {whines about tragedy in book}
Me: "{does the mea culpa}"
Now: Cackling inside like evil sadist.
The trailer does not spoil the event, either:
