Good night, Gracie is a line from the old Gracie Allen show where husband George Burns (the original God) tells her to say good night, Gracie, and she being blonde or so the assumption goes says good night, Gracie.
Oh, and I do understand doing research during editing. Sometimes you'll have passages that you need to write in a second or third draft because you don't have the research, and you have to go back and do the research to make the writing sound authentic. As an example, I have book that has sailing ships on it, so I've glossed a bit on that section and when I do the next draft, I'm going to read that section and see what research I need to do to make it more authentic. It's that or say they take a sailing ship from x place to y place, and I'd like to make it a little more exciting than that.
Her comments certainly don't make the next book sound like something to wait for. I think the contest is a good idea for the Jason stripper name, but I hope the name chosen is better than the name chosen in the Jacen Solo (aka Star Wars) Sith lord name contest.
