URBAN SHAMAN has officially been reprinted and is in the warehouse awaiting anybody who wants to order it. That’s my first novel, guys. It’s gone into a second printing. In trade paperback. *stupid, stupid grin* (Holy cow. About 5K copies have been reprinted, apparently. That’s pretty good!) Perhaps in order to keep me from getting too full of myself, I seem to have lost the battle with this cold I’ve been fighting, and my nose is very full of snot. I don’t have a very big nose. I am continuously…
food, glorious food
Tomorrow’s weigh in day, but I was in the bathroom with the scale yesterday morning to take a bath, and so stood on the scale. It put me down at 156 again. I did think 160 was probably an unusually high flux, and don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but one way or another it’s the right trend. I haven’t really been counting points this week; Easter weekend and being at Mom & Dad’s kinda threw it out the window and I guess I haven’t cared enough to try really…

Apparently Amazon is shipping THUNDERBIRD FALLS. I’m a little startled, because the official release date is May 1, which for Luna books means “the tuesday before the 1st day of the month,” so I would expect it to be in stores around the 25th.

Its current ranking at Amazon (which is, I know, mostly meaningless, but still) is more than 200 placements higher than I ever saw URBAN SHAMAN go…
Kit and Ted’s Very Busy Day
It’s only 2pm and I’m pooped. Ted and I reclaimed, or more accurately, laid claim, to the kitchen/dining room area this morning. I finally packed up the last box of kitchen stuff that belonged to the landlord and we put it in the little storage shed in the back yard, which proved (to my surprise and relief) to be capable of holding all those boxes of kitchen stuff. Then we put all of our own stuff away. *Most* of it had been away, but the kitchen table was piled up…

And to top off the evening, from , 1) Why Ireland? Lifetime dream come to fruition. My grandfather was born in Ireland, so my sister and I have (through a literal grandfather clause!) citizenship, which makes it comparatively easy to move here. There are political and financial reasons, too (or there might be the latter if the dollar wasn’t so low against the euro), but mostly it’s because we *could*. It’s an adventure! 2) Why Cork? Ted got a job down here. *laugh* Beyond that, it’s a big enough city…
