If you’ve hung around here at all, you know that I consider this one of the greatest tunes of all time. What you don’t know is that I sing this to the cats, and when I do, one of them meows back. Really loud. And then tries to crawl into my mouth. Certain others around here believe this is the cat’s way of telling me to shut up. I prefer to believe it’s Cat for “You rock.”

I checked into the Sony delay, found the problem (or at least we think so) and All of Her should show up in the Sony bookstore soon, if it hasn’t already. My apologies for the delay and inconvenience.

So, I just got out of an important meeting. Important things were decided. Like which wall to make the cats chase the laser point up next. This afternoon, I have another important meeting planned. With the mop. Dear God, the new computer can’t get here fast enough.

One desktop computer: officially kaput.I wish that I had actually killed it with fire; spontaneous hard-drive death has no cachet whatsoever. Meanwhile, I do have a backup, of course, but the writing is never the same away from that home-base desktop. So work on the new stuff will take a hit for the next little while, until I find a replacement worth buying. (I seem to have a singular knack for killing computers just shy of a new generation of processors, when everyone’s pushing the old junk they couldn’t sell before. i3 for the same price as latest generation? Are you SERIOUS? Byotch, please.) Anyway, if things get quiet on the… Read More

Okay, so apparently computers hate Mondays, too. We’re having some vid-card issues this morning that I could have done without, but DAMN this coffee is making it all better. In other news, not even good coffee can make up for some Fantasy Heights character issues. Would anyone mind if I have Josh throw Thomas off a building?

I’m having guests this weekend, so I’ll be checking out a bit early today. Here’s wishing you the weekend you need, and to stick the landing on Monday. Enjoy.

For the standalone romance title, I can’t use the cover artist who produces the Fantasy Heights covers. Believe me, I wish I could, but the standalone is a completely different type of job, so I understand why my regular artist said no. Finding an artist for this next job has not been easy. I used to think I was pretty laid back about this whole segment of design. As it turns out, that is totally not true. I still haven’t found anyone, and the clock is ticking. Wish me luck. I’m not panicking yet, but the hour draws near…

Seventy degrees on Saturday. Today (Monday), winter storm warning. Someone forcefeed Mother Nature her ADHD meds, si vous plais. I’m tryana have spring, here. In other news, it was a great weekend. Which means I got nothing at all done, and now must get my posterior in gear. Go have lots of fun without me.

I have this really… particular way of working with note-paper, especially when I’m in development mode. I like 14″ legal-pad paper, folded in half, and put on a clipboard. And don’t even think about handing me a pen. I’m all about the pencil. So this morning, I had to crack open a new package of legal pads. Tore off the first page, and when I went to fold it, discovered that it won’t fold exactly in half. The pages aren’t perfectly rectangular. I am having a fit about this (obviously).And being made fun of for it. So now we want to vote: Is this a… 1) diva-driven green M&M moment,… Read More

Today, I’d planned this whole ceremonial thing where I’d take down the story boards for the first standalone erotic romance. Yeah, no. Editor is saying “Not so fast, missy.” Harumph. I freakin’ hate it when she’s right all the time.
