Mom and I planned a surgical strike shopping trip to Dublin today. We met at 11am, had lunch, shopped, and were done by 3pm. That, my friends, is how to get the Christmas shopping done. It’s not entirely done, actually, but all the stuff going back to the States is bought. I’ll get wrapping paper tomorrow and maybe I’ll get packages in the mail on Thursday. That’d be best; the post office is always nuts on Friday. On the train there and back again, I wrote 5200 words. miles to…
a point of contention
DearAuthor.com has brought up the much-overstated demise of the Luna line (among several other things) in a recent post.

The idea of doing so seems like too much…

But, since I don’t seem to have found my way to that MPW, I’ll just do drawings when I’m not writing. I finally did one! At the rate I’m going, my thousand drawings project should be complete by the time I’m forty-five… Anyway, my nephew Seirid. Pretty pleased with this one. Babies are hard to draw. I didn’t…
book sighting!
reports having picked up THE PHOENIX LAW yesterday evening! Official street date is Tuesday, December 5th, and it’s only on the shelves for a short short one month, so quick! Rush out and look for your copy! What? Not sure if you want to buy it? My heart, it is breaking! But wait! You can read a teaser if you must! Go forth! Enjoy! Spies and explosions and smoochies! Can’t go wrong with that, right? (I tell you, despite having Plenty On My Plate, and 3 all-new C.E. Murphy books…
