All right, so... Short notice, but my publisher has me doing a book signing this weekend for my latest release.

If anyone decides to show up, do me a favor and remember to call me "Naishe" while you're there.

...Naishe?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Mmhmm. I write under the name of Naishe Rivera.

[youngestone]

Why?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Because I don't want to have to deal with being the famous Naishe Rivera everywhere I go. She and I have very different reputations, you know.

[He gives Isabela a look]

You both write porn, so...

[espigeonage]

How naish.

[He says it like 'nice'.]

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Blue!

[espigeonage]

The pretty sheila can't blame me for that!

[Julien is affecting a deliberately bad Australian accent.]

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

You're horrible, you know that?

[espigeonage]

Oi know. We jes' deserve each other, eh?

...wait, I don't think eh is very Aussie. Hmm.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Naishe?

Huh. I think one of my aunts is fan of yours.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Do you want me to save you a signed copy for her?

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Sure, thanks. It'll make a nice present for her.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Planning to come by the bookstore to pick it up in person? Or would you rather I just drop it off afterward?

[moreweaponsthanyou]

I'll drop by. Can't make you do all the work.

video; i'm sorry i had to do this

[darkhourdear]

Oh! I think my mom has a lot of your books. But she won't ever tell me what they're about, or let me read them, and she won't let me ask dad either.

Do your books have dragons?

[because clearly those are the only kinds of books worth writing]

Awesome, let's do it.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Well, the new one involves a few dragons. But not all of them do.

...you're how old, Kitten?

[darkhourdear]

Why didn't you write about them before?

I'm eleven!

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Because I started with pirates.

I'm afraid these books are meant for a little older audience than you, kitten. Lots of words you probably haven't learned yet.

[darkhourdear]

Pirates are cool too!

Are you sure? I'm started middle school soon, I'll learn a lot more words then!

So... why are we calling you Naishe again?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Bloody hell, Liam. Tell me you understand the concept of a pen name.

[arrowpoint]

Well, I know what it means, I just don't get it. Why would you want to do that?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

It's sort of like being a superhero. Superheroes aren't often allowed those everyday mundane moments necessary to a normal life. So, they have their mild-mannered alter egos for that. Only in my case, the famous author persona's the more mild-mannered of us two.

Dude, if my favorite author told me they brushed their teeth on a daily basis I wouldn't be surprised. I just don't get the big deal.

[Shrug.]

So... you got a new book, I guess?
