Hey katatomic!

So I'm reading the Mean Streets anthology, with your story in it! But before I actually get to your story, should I read Underground first? Will it matter if I read the short piece first, spoiler-wise? Inquiring minds want to know!

(Also, anyone who is not katatomic and who has already read the short story and novel in question, feel free to answer this question too!)

i just finished - i have not read anything else by her (but i will now!) and i don't think anything else was required. it made sense. we didn't know who people *were*. but that was unimportant.

just my $.02

Thanks! And yes you should definitely read Kat's work, it's fun. Urban fantasy with a heavy slant towards mystery, which is nice in comparison to a lot of what you have in the genre right now. Plus, bonus points for being set in Seattle!

i did go ahead and order the book first book from the library (i can't afford any more books right now. sigh. i am over budget already. its just... i am addicted to books. i have 3 large 5-shelf shelves that are full of hardbacks, no more room there, and a large was-5-shelved-but-i-made-it-7 with paperbacks triple stacked, no more room THERE. and no more moneys right now :( )
so i am super excited to read it. athough the short story starts in Seattle, most of it takes place in Mexico - and that, the culture was *realy* well done, i thought.

Yeah, I liked the story quite a bit; I finished it this afternoon. :)

And I totally hear you on the book addiction thing!

i know! i am actually running a contest against you in my head about who is buying more books lol. at the moment, if you haven't bought anything new, you are at 30 and i am at 32 1/2 (pete paid for half of one of the books, because he wanted it too)

so PBTHPPT! i'm winning! nanny-nanny-boo-boo!

hehehe.

There is a minor spoiler, but I don't think you'll be too bugged by it. Enough to make you go "Hmm," but not enough to make you go "argh!" (especially since everyone in the WORLD seems to have already commented on that particular detail in other places.)

Awesome, thank you!
