A Goodreads user asked G.G. Atcheson:

What's shaking in your part of the world G.G.?

G.G. Atcheson Hello Anthony,

My name is LX. I hope you do not mind if I chime in. GG is busy writing my story.

First, let me clarify something. Ever since I have called upon Earth for help and thus almost destroyed California in the process, I am being careful not to do anything that could anger her. So the shaking you mentioned? I can assure you I had nothing to do with it. I swear. Although, to be honest, it worries me that I have not felt the slightest disturbance around here and you have. You see, I am quite sensitive to Earth's mood.

Unless… Never mind. This is another strange earthling expression, is it not? You people never cease to amaze me with your funny language that always seems to mean something else than it actually says. Oh well…I should go back to my spacecraft. Please, do not tell GG about this. She will make fun of me, and I will never see the end of it.
