I'm hoping for a time travel story that involves Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, the anti-slavery movement, and the Mexican War.
Wow, that's almost kinda scary.
It can be frustrating and embarrassing depending on what not-ready-for-prime-time material goes public by getting entered into the database earlier than it should have been. Or stuff like the author's name being misspelled all over the internet. The big sites like Amazon get fixed by a corrected feed, but most of the small resellers out there rarely update their info and you're stuck with it.
^To confuse things even more, Richard Christian Matheson is the brother of Chris Matheson, co-writer of the Bill and Ted movies. I only just found that out by checking IMDb; I've always assumed they were the same person. IMDb even says they often get their work attributed to each other by mistake.
You'd think someone as wildly imaginative as Richard Matheson could've come up with less repetitive names for his kids...
