Easy Pickings!

We’re verging on finally releasing “Easy Pickings” into the wild! All we have to do is, um, learn how to upload it to Amazon and other places. Which actually I have zero idea of how to do. It can’t be that hard, can it? (…although it may be less intuitive than I think it should be. Um.) Right. Anyway! We’re planning to release it on the 15th, and in the meantime, here’s the cover!

totally inadequate fudge

I’d been having a hard time finding the chocolate I typically use here to make fudge with, so I got some at a different store and made fudge today.

thinks that aren’t writing

Today is a day of work that isn’t writing (despite yesterday’s reminder-to-self that getting up early to work, well, works). This is not really a good time to take a day off writing, but since I can’t figure out how to clone myself, it’ll have to do. thinks that aren’t writing but need doink – mail the first set of calendars – magical words post – last ORSSP story – catch up on answering emails – final edits on “Easy Pickings” – bonus feature: take a shower It’s a sad…
