Quitting smoking (along with improved diet and more exercise and losing weight) is a very popular New Year's resolution. For all of you who've added this one to your list, I say-good luck, go for it, great!
I don't smoke, but for all of you out there who do, and who have made a New Year's Resolution to quit, I pass along this information.
CGC has a program that starts tomorrow, January 10, 2008. You "register" for the program by calling 323-QUIT (323-7848).
The program is FREE, and provides FREE nicotine-replacement gum, FREE nic-patches, FREE meds to ease the craving (Chantix). Research shows that these things work best in conjunction with counseling. So CGC has this set-up: To get this free help, you go to meetings. The first one is Thursday, 1/10/2008 at 1PM until 2:30 PM at Conference Room 3, new wing of CHC. The program lasts 9 weeks and ends approximately 3/6/2008.
It's not a perfect offer--I asked how could people who work go to these meetings? Doctors, lawyers, teachers--people with any job, really--are needed on the job typically during the day.
CGC recognizes that its first program schedule isn't user-friendly for these possible hopefuls. They do want to add another program (after this first 9 week one?) that will be in evenings.
But if you're interested in finding solutions to make this New Year's Resolution happen, you can contact CGC. They want to help.

Congratulations Orion
That is fantastic news and it is always great to read when someone deserving to get published actually gets published.
It is inspirational in fact.
Again with the congratulations.

And a blurb from Paul Theroux to boot. Nicely done. Congrats. Oh, and I really like the cover art as well.
Wow, Orion, that's fantastic! I'm so happy for you. May it sell a million copies. Or more.
Wow. I can't add much to what has already been said, but congratulations!
I hope it gets distributed in New Zealand. Congratulations and best wishes for big sales. It also gives new power to that fantastic t-shirt Orion wears telling people to be careful or they'll appear in her next novel.
cheers

Bring on the confetti cannon!
You give us all hope, kiddo.
My dog, if Dorian Karchmar is Miss Snark, George Clooney should get his ass into gear and head straight for NY NY!
