trying to stay updated

Well, we went down to open a bank account today, which is a much lengthier process than it is in the states. So that’s underway. Then we went and got *library cards*. It’s like we’re real people, or something!

I had a call from the editorial assistant at Harlequin on Wednesday that threw me into a panic: the author alterations for THUNDERBIRD FALLS were due and they weren’t in, and something about he was going to email them to me, and I’m going ACK ACK ACK because I hadn’t *seen* the AAs, much less done them, and agh what was going on and agh!

–well, no, it turned out he was going to email me something else that I already had, so he didn’t have to, and in fact he knew I hadn’t seen the AAs because he’d accidentally sent them to Alaska and hadn’t realized it until the day they were due and he hadn’t heard from me. Agh! But at least it wasn’t my fault. He’s expressed a copy of the AAs to me now and hopefully they’ll arrive today (@.@) so I can do them over the weekend, and hopefully production will be okay with that, and well, at least it’s not my fault. :)

And there are copyedits for FIREBIRD DECEPTION on the way. Did I mention they’d accepted FD with no revisions? Buh! So getting COYOTE DREAMS done by the end of the month will be–well, it’s possible, but I’ll be very busy with it. That’s ok. It’s not actually *due* til March; I just want it done before then.

Ok, Ted’s ready to go, so I’m gonna head out.
