Up: one of the guys at the OxFam shop turns out to be a real comic book geek. We had a good time talking today. There were 7 of us on, and about, oh, 7 customers all morning. I also brought the same guy a copy of COYOTE DREAMS, and another guy who’s new in today was Terribly Impressed to meet a Real Writer. I’ve never met anybody as impressed as he was. I did not fit his idea of what a Real Writer would look like (middle-aged, greying, male,…
quick post before bedtime
I was invited to blog at Romance Reader At Heart , and the posting is up today. Pop by and take a quick read, if you’ve got a moment. :) I appear to be on a kick of seeing if there’s a such thing as too many Hugh Grant movies in a compressed period of time. So far, the answer is “no”. I’ve watched Notting Hill, Two Weeks’ Notice, Sense & Sensibility (which I don’t think I even realized he was in), Bridget Jones’s Diary, Love Actually, and I’m pretty…
spider-man, audio books, rewrites, oh my!
Audible.com has COYOTE DREAMS in! The books must be doing pretty well in audio format, because this is *way* faster than either of the other two were released.

Mind you, I went in with low expectations. The pacing was bad (it has been for…

I could. :) The last 500 meters, somebody who could *swim* was in the lane with me. We were about dead even in speed, though I don’t know which of us would be faster if we were actually trying. Probably him, ’cause, well, boy. I told Ted this,…
gnah
Mutter, mutter. I have just finally done what I ought to have done a long time ago, which is remove the solitaire link from the quick links in the start menu. I know it’s still on the computer somewhere, but I don’t actually know where it’s located (do not, for God’s sake, tell me) and I think probably not having it available with two clicks will prevent it from being a temptation. I have been screwing around far too much playing that game. :P I have ordered a print of…
