It’s 11:12 am and I am so behind. All I accomplished so far was a workout and a shower and some admin email. Grrr, Monday. We have the cover. Wooo! Still gorgeous beyond all reason. Buy link here in case you missed the first flurry of publicity. We have found the reader for Fated Blades.

Lemon Trees and Violets
A day before Gordon and I resolved our issues with Ruby Fever, we had a fight. It wasn’t much of a fight – we rarely go all out after 26 years of marriage – but things were said, and the dissatisfaction with the state of the book, writing process, and publication schedules was expressed on

On Time, Weird Perception Of
I was talking with a friend – not Jeaniene, before you ask, heh. This is a friend with whom I have a weekly phone call. Last Friday we found out that Fated Blades had peaked at #4 on Amazon, which surprised the hell out of me. The series is 10 years old. By every measure

That’s the way she goes.
Bad news. Despite an earlier announcement, Steve West will not be reading for the audio version of Fated Blades. When we made the announcement, we were under the impression that Steve was hired for the job. Then we got an email from Steve himself explaining that he was contacted but that an agreement was never

Minou Camille and Allure Vet ER
Last night Gordon and I were on the couch, settling in for watching the second episode of LuLaRich. It’s an Amazon documentary about LuLaRoe leggings and the multilevel marketing scheme that company employed. I actually own 1 pair of leggings and 2 tops from LuLaRoe. I bought them at the height of the craze from
