Website (and other) updates, quickly delivered before wandering off.

* I'm still taking pre-orders for the new album, Red Roses and Dead Things (the album details and track list are here, and will shortly include a cover graphic; you can order there, or by going directly to the order form). The tracks went to my mastering engineer, so we'll be closing the pre-orders shortly. If you wanted to sponsor the album (and thus be named in the liner notes), now's the time to do it. In other news, Jeff Bohnhoff is a golden god, Chris Mangum is a golden god, and I am a tired bunny.

* The finished manuscript for Late Eclipses of the Sun (Toby Daye, book four) has been turned in to my agent for review. I call this 'making sure she doesn't have any spare time over the holidays,' because I'm just considerate like that. I'm about a hundred and eighty pages into book five at this point, so I guess misery just loves company. (Actually, I'm not miserable at all. I'm ecstatic. But that's also because I'm insane.)

* Updates to my website are continuing; they just slowed down a little bit because My Web Dude is also My Album Liner Notes Design Dude, and even all his awesome can't do eighteen things at the same time (and I am not his day job). Watch for FAQs and the 'Thoughts On Writing' landing page, coming soon.

* The part of my brain that never really believes I'm doing enough wants me to do a lengthy, illustrated essay on being a good convention guest. I think my brain is out to get me, I really, really do.

* I'm prepping for my holiday trip to Seattle by making packing lists, mailing presents, and searching in vain for a better method of mailing comic strips. I may have actually found one. It just requires...testing.

* I am wearing socks covered in grinning jack-o-lanterns. Halloween is every day.

That's all for now in the world of me. What's up and new in the world of you?

I assume you meant "book four" for Late Eclipses? Either way, glee!

I do, and I fixed it! Silly blondes, coherence is clearly for kids.

In the world of me, it is snowing horribly, I just had my windshield replaced due to cold weather and stupid Escalades, my husband will have shiny new glasses by the end of the week, and I may be snowed in at work in two hours.

Some win, some fail, I just hope I don't freeze tonight.

Please try not to freeze. Frozen people are far less amusing.

Yay, I'm amusing! :D :D :D

Yes! Ten points for you.

It's really cold and really icy up here in Seattle at the moment; we're all trying to stay safe and warm. News at 11.

I've been making shiny things, and fighting off the winter Brain-Nibbling Ducks by finding new and interesting books to read. My current conquest is Larissa Lai's When Fox Is A Thousand, which I am enjoying thoroughly.
