  • Woohoo!

    Something really, really good just happened. But I promised not to tell what it is. Sure made my day, though. Speaking of having your day made, my old friend Sheri and her husband had their second baby, first son, yesterday. I went and visited them at lunch. Babies are so precious at that age. He…

  • When the hammer falls

    Yesterday was shot all to hell early and just quickly descended Dante’s Inferno to the bottom level before the workday was over. I won’t bore you with all the details, other than saying I had to deliver messages to the VP about other people not being here and the problems that caused in the department.…

  • Busy … and this month’s prize

    No entry yesterday. I meant to make an entry yesterday evening, but I got to working on the revisions I’m making to Shara and suddenly it was the kids’ bedtime and I hadn’t chased any of them into the bath tub yet. I got the little ones bathed and in bed just as Kim was…

  • Somebody’s been spending

    My Amazon.com sales numbers took another jump today. Even Darkscapes jumped back into the 100,000 range after sinking to like 1,300,000. Hopefully all copies of that are sold now. At least from Amazon’s stock. I’ll be glad when the new versions of that and come out. It sucks to look at Shara‘s sales number jump…

  • Finished!

    The Prometheus Syndrome is finished! Edits made and the second copy for my agent (he requires two hardcopies) is spooling out of the printer right now. Woohoo! Call to the Hunt went to the printer today. Not sure what the chances are of actually having copies in my hand for the OWFI conference later this…

  • Mother Nature’s blowjob

    I’m at the computer, in front of my big window, and I just saw a yellow basketball go north up the street, probably clocking a good 10 mph. The wind has been howling here for several days, blowing dust and the first of the spring pollen all over the place. It’s annoying, but at least…

  • Sanity has left the body

    What a day! I’m sure I’ve been busier, but it’s been a couple of months since I’ve been as busy as I was today. I’ve been deluged with little news bits that need press releases. So much so that even with my intern writing several of them I can’t keep up with sending them all.…

  • Protected: Keep your clothes on when getting chopped

    There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

  • It’s raining, it’s pouring

    I wish my ass was in bed a-snoring. Actually, the rain has let up. We were getting hammered a little bit ago, however. A real gully-washer. I’m having a problem with the warmer weather. All my kids want to go outside in the evening. That should be a good thing. But there are four of…

  • Stone in Love

    No googling. Who recorded the song in my subject line? I heard that this morning as I drove to work. Lots and lots of memories associated with that song. That entire album, really. Man, I was stupid the year that one came out. That album always conjures memories of that winter and the stupid-ass mind…
