The Distinct and Clever Mind of Chris Rylander Wins Him Nothing

The winner of the Agent/Editor Pick-up Line Contest is....

Chris Rylander - "The main character has the same bedtime routine as you! How weird is that?"

His pick-up line highlights several key areas: annoyance, shock, inappropriateness, and general creepiness. Nice work, Chris. Your prize is seeing me again at SCBWI. By the way, email your phone number to me so I can send you equally creepy texts. Do you get cell reception in the Dakotas or are you still using cans and string? 

By the way, Chris's book THE FOURTH STALL comes out a month from never. (sometime in 2011)

  2. Hey tHanks! The funny thing is that this line works for me time and time again.

    Also, thanks for mentioning the fourth stall, which does come out in february.

  3. Oh yeah, and what the hell is "cell reception," some kind of formal party for microbiologists?
