First book, first meeting!

Here is a fast pick for our first book, basically a decision made on the fact that the author will be visiting Capitola Book Cafe on November 5 and I thought that might add a fun dimension.

Any qualms with this being our first book? Feel free to comment and let me know. I am trying to figure out how to make this a multi-author blog so we can all log in and post... anyone have any idea how to do that?

Also, please comment with any scheduling concerns or dates that don't work for you around the beginning of October for our first meeting. I figure about a month for everyone to finish the book, does that work? I want it to stay low pressure so it stays fun and we don't lose people due to too much 'homework'! :) I will post everything here from now on, for the most part, so check back for updates!
