Explain to me how Microsoft Word doesn't recognize the word "pleather." Now, just like any other chick I heartily enjoy seeing the whimsy of Word's options for words it does not recognize. But it had nothing for pleather (other than leather and that just doesn't count).
I'm running on Word 2006 here, kids. This Word went through the eighties (didn't it?). It should be frighteningly familiar with 'pleather.'
(and yes, I'm using 'pleather' in the book. Even better: I'm using the term 'pink pleather.' Can it get any better?)

On shelves now! More About MeI used to be a lawyer who measured my time by 6 minute increments. For a few years, I was able to devote one or two of those increments to this blog a few times a week. In October 2007 sold my debut novel, THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH, to Delacorte Press (it came out March 10, 2009 and hit the New York Times bestselling list in 2010). In October 2008 I quit my lawyer job and now I'm a full-time writer. My second book, THE DEAD-TOSSED WAVES, is a companion to the first and came out March 9, 2010. The third in the series, THE DARK AND HOLLOW PLACES, released March 22, 2011. My first anthology, FORETOLD: 14 Tales of Prophecy and Prediction, will be out fall 2012 as well as my first middle grade novel, INFINITY RING: DIVIDE AND CONQUER, Book 2 of Scholastic's new multi-author/multi-platform series.

I'm laughing about the pink pleather. It reminds me of the pink panther.
And I have to admit that while I LOVE Word (wish I had the 2006 version, but I didn't even know there was one), its vocabulary isn't quite big enough for comfort.
Haha, I'm not sure there's a 2006 version either! I just, er, guess that I have that one (and to think I used to be a computer tech person)
