Results of winter giveaway #4, plus random updates.

Item the first:

kirylyn, you have won a copy of An Artificial Night in the fourth of my random holiday drawings. Please email me within the next twenty-four hours, using the contact form on my website, to be mailing your book. If I don't hear from you inside this time, I will have to draw a new winner. So I surely do hope I hear from you!

Item the second: I spent most of the day in San Francisco, as The Editor was flying in through SFO, and needed to be picked up and toted to her final destination (for the moment). With a stop at Borderlands Books, naturally, to meet the hairless cats. Sadly, the hairless cats were not in when we swung by, but we got to hang out with Jude, and I convinced a nice lady to buy Carousel Tides for her wife. So life, pretty good, really.

Item the third: Alice is continuing to get better, and has now improved enough to be pushy and imperious when she doesn't get what she wants. Given that at her worst, she was barely interactive, this is wonderful, and I relish being bullied by my big fuzzy baby. She knows it, too, and is taking shameless advantage of me. Oddly, I'm okay with that.

Item the fourth: My bedroom may actually be a black hole. I'm trying to clean up and rearrange in here, and it's dauntingly horrific. I keep finding things I didn't know existed, like a long box half-full of Stars Fall Home. In other news, I now have ten more copies of Stars Fall Home.

Item the fifth: As part of my cleaning efforts, I'm sorting, indexing, and purging my collection of My Little Ponies. When I'm done, I'll actually be able to make a coherent wish list. This is...maybe not such a good thing, really, since I have access to eBay. But hey. Everything has its downside.

How's by you?

Cleaning. It's wacky.

Congratulations,

kirylyn! :)

Yay that Alice is getting better! Good on her for taking advantage of everything she can get :D

In other news, I now have ten more copies of Stars Fall Home.

WANT! :)

If you email me through my website, I can hook you up. There isn't enough to do a restock at CD Baby.

Good that you have Stars Fall Home for GaFilk :) (Or CDBaby, if you prefer.)

Are you selling your extra ponies on eBay?

December 14 2010, 19:06:19 UTC 6 years ago

No, probably not; they're not in good enough condition to be a big deal, and it's a lot of trouble to sell things online.

Great news! Alice is getting better, and there are a few more copies of "Stars Fall Home", so I don't feel guilty about getting one of the last copies any more :-)

My 'baby' is home after six months deployed - sadly she is working Christmas and New Year, but hey! home now :-) Sqeee! Sqeee! I can peek through her bedroom door and see the top of her head (just) ... sadly can't actually GET through the door as I think she brought an entire ship's worth of stuff home with her!

Now if you could do something about HER bedroom while you are tidying and sorting, (or mine, come to that) or the pile of ironing that mushroomed overnight ...

How does Toby cope with boring household chores? Does she have a friendly, magical cleaning service? Do they accept referrals? ;-)

And, please, where can I get a rose goblin for Christmas? I'd take good care of it, promise.

She has May. May does dishes.

Hanukkah is almost over (one more party with daughter and family), then the rest of my friends go nuts with their celebrations. Really miss my mom, she started going downhill last Hanukkah, so this time is rough.
Yeah for Alice getting better! She is such a wonderful fuzz butt.
There are always more My Little Ponies. I was just bummed I didn't save more of Jennie's collection, so I could pass them on to you. But at the time, they were all over the place, even the donation places were littered with them.
Have a Happy Holiday!

I'll try!

That would be a white hole, if things mysteriously appear rather than disappear. Or maybe one end of a wormhole from an alternate-Seanan. Maybe you should check if it's really the same story.

... er, same songs.

I apparently have two entire toy chests in my parents attic full of My Little Ponies, some in mint condition, some, um, featuring festive haircuts of the mohawk variety. At some point, I will have to go through them.

December 14 2010, 19:07:37 UTC 6 years ago

...whoa.

I need to come over. With a sack. And then pretend that I was never there.

It's cold and windy here - not as much snow as they were originally predicting. I'm staying indoors today, alternating between grading, cleaning and more cleaning.

Glad to hear Princess Poofypants is back in fighting form, long may she reign.

December 14 2010, 19:07:46 UTC 6 years ago

She's glad, too.

December 14 2010, 19:08:09 UTC 6 years ago

I love that site so hard. It's what makes things like my current indexing project possible.

I'm glad to hear that Alice continues to recover. It always makes me sad when someone's furry friend is sick.

December 14 2010, 19:08:17 UTC 6 years ago

Me, too.

December 14 2010, 19:08:42 UTC 6 years ago

My list is...growing rapidly. If you have a list, feel free to email me. We can open negotiations!

In other news, I now have ten more copies of Stars Fall Home. Does this mean it is possible to buy one from your web page? I was going to buy a copy for my sister for Christmas after getting her addicted from my copy but found out it was out of print.

December 14 2010, 19:09:12 UTC 6 years ago

Not from the website, no; I don't have enough to restock CD Baby, and I try not to do direct sales. But if you email me through my website contact link, we can work out a private sale.
