Welcome to 2012

And good riddance to 2011. Okay, it wasn’t that bad. My first novel, Impaler, was published electronically and dead tree, and my second novel, ConVent, was published electronically. Both are doing reasonably well, considering that if “self-publicizing” was an RPG skill, mine would be -100. I need a +1000 Blarney Stone. Mum visited for three Read More…

The day job continues feral, with a forecast of extreme feral for the next month or thereabouts (mostly courtesy customer schedules). This probably corresponds to a Kate-fried level permanently in the ‘illegal in 90% of the world’ range. Those who know what my sense of humor does when I’m that fried understand. We’re talking entendre Read More…

Another crazy week this week, although I’m a little more rested than usual after a 3 day weekend instead of the usual 2. I’d like to find whoever cursed me with being the responsible one and have a little “chat” with them. Progress towards the print edition of Impaler continues. It might feel glacial to Read More…

RavenCon was wonderful – I’m making plans to be back there next year. I also booked Philcon and Capclave for this year. With any luck I can build myself a circuit of conventions that are close enough to drive to and let me make a fool of myself in public often enough that people know Read More…

Impaler is here!

Impaler is published. It’s currently available from Amazon’s Kindle Store and from my publisher, Naked Reader Press. Other ebook stores will follow, and there will be a print edition as well. It’s been an interesting journey, and it’s hard to believe that this stage is almost over. The next stage, of course, is selling the Read More…

Interesting week. On the work front, lurched straight into the next major project while doing cleanup and trying to track down a customer problem that so far hasn’t been reproduced in house from the previous projects. Also much meeping over the LunaCon program. It’s the best schedule I’ve ever had for a con, and I’m Read More…

Finished a chapter of the sequel to ConVent this week. Total wordage for the week about 1000, which when slipped between the chaos of a major release is pretty decent. Narcolepsy has been unfriendly – major release at work does that. My body objects to long days with intense concentration, and lets me know in Read More…

Two Steps Forward One Step Back

Progress of a sort – the sequel to ConVent is back on the active list, and words are being added. As always, snatching time in between everything else, which means that when work or home stuff goes insane, not much wordage happens. Big plus, hubby finally has a working computer again. We’ve also got a Read More…

It’s been a Day

Husband had wisdom teeth out – one of them with roots that had grown into the sinus cavity (nasty) – so today was largely working from home with interruptions to take him to the hospital and bring him home. I still managed to get a post in for Mad Genius Club for tomorrow, where I Read More…

End of the week update – which I hope to make a regular post. I’ve got most of the website and associated hookups in place and doing what they should I’ve switched over my .sig to Impaler on my main email. I still need to set my assorted newsgroup posting .sigs to do the same Read More…
