Reviewer Drey’s Library is having a blog birthday party all month, and has interviewed me as one of the, er, celebratory things. :) Anyway, you can win a copy of URBAN SHAMAN there, but even if you don’t need to you should go read the blog ’cause it’s nifty. :) There’s a lawn maintenance company here in Longford called Lawn’n’Order. To my great surprise, Lawn’n’Order came and parked in front of my house today, then went into my back yard, which was a disaster, and much weed whacking ensued. Now…
Take A Chance
I left the house to go on a walk this morning and a few doors down the postman said to me, “I’ve two packages for ye, is anyone there to collect them?”, so I turned around and came back home to collect them. One was full of enough Pop Tarts and macaroni and cheese to last us the rest of the year. Lisa is the best human *ever*, and I owe her something spectacular (like postage, at the very least). The other was full of issues 1-4 of Take A…
triumph. sort of.
I reached the part of the book where I can start putting stuff back into TRUTHSEEKER again. The place where I started to do that was, in the original manuscript, page 42. It’s page 85 now.

It’ll be a little shorter, which will make my editor happy, but shortening it means the last section is going to have to be lengthened,…

I find writing when there’s music on to be very difficult, but two things are now working against me: One, at the moment, I’m huddled in my office working while the landlord and Ted deal with Manly Things (ie, moving heavy objects, cleaning drains, building sheds, etc), and I have the cats locked in here with me. They are slightly less demanding to be LET OUT NOOOOOOOW if there’s music on, possibly because it makes it harder for them to hear the Interesting Things going on outside the office. Two,…
okay, okay
I have bowed to peer pressure (mostly from ) and have created a Facebook fan page for, er, myself. (Honestly, FB has it set up so it really wants you to do it yourself, even if that seems uncomfortably weird to me.) I’ll do, I don’t know, something interesting, give away a book or answer one question about one of the series or something, when I reach 100 fans, and another when I reach 250. And since I guess I’m doing Shameless Self Promotion this week, I might as well…
