Squee! THE CARDINAL RULE is up on Amazon now! No cover art or anything yet, but it’s listed! That makes it, like, real! Rilly real! SQUEE! Now all I have to do is finish the AAs so that they’ve got a manuscript to make rilly real. :) Delightfully, the AAs are going very easily (she said, trusting she wasn’t jinxing herself with only 80 pages to go). I should finish them tonight, and I’ll post them tomorrow morgle. Harold wanted to know how many books I would squee for. I…

OH OH OH THIS WAS COOL!
Guess who I got email from yesterday! Ann Crispin, who is A.C. Crispin, who is one of the authors I sent a copy of URBAN SHAMAN to, because she was the author I wrote to when I was like 15 and asked for writing advice from and she sent me back this big fat handwritten 4 page letter full of good advice, and I always said I’d send her a copy of my first book when I got it published, so I did, and she got it and she read…
