Sunday morning, yellow sky.

I actually got a Google Alert for Mira Grant that was about, well, me, rather than some random assortment of words that managed to trigger my poor dumb little spider! Damon at BSC posted his thoughts on the 2010 Orbit catalog, including some comments about Feed. Quote, "I think it could make a splash. I normally do not read these types of books, but I am willing to make an exception, I believe, for Mira."

Damon, I am going to do my damnedest not to let you down. And that is a promise from me to you.

Meanwhile, the Warren Public Libraries in Warren, Michigan had some really sweet things to say about Rosemary and Rue, including "It’s a gripping mystery with a lot of urban fantasy thrown in to the mix" and "Fans of any urban fantasy will do well here." There's also a strong recommendation for fans of Jim Butcher's work to give mine a look. From your words to the Great Pumpkin's ears, Warren Public Libraries!

Alice is sopping wet, thanks to my having had a minor bathtub incident, and is now squelching around the house like an animate mop. Attempts to dry her have been met with the cat equivalent of "No, Mom, don't wanna," so I figure I'll let her be wet for a little while longer before I bust out the blow-dryer. It's good when you can satisfy your cats with simple inaction. (Much better than being punched awake at 6:30 AM to provide affection, which was how we started our day. The joy of cats.)

My cheeks have swollen to the point that I really, really look like someone's been beating me, making me super-glad that Chris didn't come to hang out today; I would've been afraid to go out of the house in his company, since I try not to get my friends accused of introducing their fists to my face. If there were a zombie walk today, I would so rule the undead dance floor. As it is, I'm taking lots of painkillers and praying that the swelling goes down before I have to go back to work tomorrow morning. And that's the news from the pumpkin patch. What's new and cool in the world of you?

I am going to be so much glee when my preordered Feed arrives. (I will be similarly glee when A Local Habitation does the same. Where did I put Rosemary and Rue anyway? I think my bed ate it...)

He's right, Feed does have an awesome cover. I would have wanted to read it to find out what it was about even if it wasn't yours, but it would have been more likely to be from the library, instead of MUST PREORDER :P

Also, goddamn I love your CDs which I am still listening to more than anything else weeks after they all finished arriving. You are awesome. And so is the fact that you write music about plagues.

Beds like eating books. Scientific fact.

I'm fairly fond of my CDs, too, so thank you! I'm hard at work on the fourth one, in the sense that "hard at work" means "prodding at whenever studio time works out for all parties involved."

I should probably clean off my bed at some point before it eats a cat.

I will be buying the fourth CD promptly upon release, with due glee, because I love Wicked Girls.
