FIREBIRD DECEPTION proposal is done and off.
Had a complete failure to communicate with the PR person yesterday. Crossed wires. I sent email Sunday saying, ‘How about you call tomorrow?’ and she got it on Monday and interpreted ‘tomorrow’ as ‘Tuesday’. So she called at the stroke of 9am this morning, but I was in the midst of working on the proposal, and I’m trying *very* hard not to answer the phone when I’m writing. I was nearly done, so I emailed her a couple of minutes later and we ended up talking for a few minutes. They don’t really know yet what they’re doing for publicity. I told her about the local bookstores and she said she’d be glad to contact a couple of them for doing book signings and things, and I told her about Dana Stabenow’s NPR book talk show, and … I guess we’ll see what happens.
I walked 5.5 miles yesterday. In a couple of minutes here I’m going to go walk some more miles. And then I’m going to come home and start reading THUNDERBIRD FALLS. And do some of the other things on my Thinks To Do list…
miles to Rauros Falls: 66
