The latest

All right, I know I'm WAY behind on blogging. For example, we had a book launch party/community mixer event on March 29 for Eye of The Beholder. Stacy G. took fun pictures for me, but they are not posted yet. Eek. I'm just very, very behind on everything. (And they're on the other computer, which I can't get at right now, so I can't post them now!)

 

I always forget how busy this time of year is. From about January through July or so, things are a little crazy with conferences and events, family stuff, etc. Right now, I'm in the midst of RT prep. Can't wait. Next week at this time, I'll be there in Pittsburgh. That seems so hard to believe! But I've got the plane tickets (rather, the email confirming them) and the hotel confirmation number (ditto), so I'm all set...sort of. I need to get my promo items to Pittsburgh. 200 earth-shaped stress balls. : ) Fellow SFR author and panelist, Colby Hodge, has generously offered to take them with her in her car, but I've got to get them boxed up in something other than the ratty and somewhat broken-down box they arrived in or else they'll never make the trip! I don't have my promo alley stuff ready yet either. Promo alley is an area at the convention where all the authors put out their displays and people can come by and take bookmarks, postcards, etc. Some of these displays are quite elaborate. Yeah. Mine needs work.

 

Finished edits for Bitter Pill last week. Yea! It will be available for the first time at Printers Row in Chicago. : )

 

I'm wearing my glasses all day long for the first time in, literally, years. For those who missed this bit of drama, I managed to scratch my corneas with my lenses. Both eyes, though the left is worse than the right. I got a good scolding from the eye doctor and was told not to wear contacts for a week. Well, that was almost two weeks ago but it still bothers my left eye when I put a contact lens in. So, I'm wondering if I'm done with contacts for good. That would SUCK! I'm just so aware of the glasses on my face. I miss having corrected peripheral vision! But I'm being careful because I'd rather wear glasses than lose my already rather poor eyesight.

 

Anyway, what else?

 

Eye of the Beholder was available on Amazon for a brief and glowing moment...before it sold out. : ) More will be coming into stock, though, I know. I apologize to everyone who received the repeated emails from Amazon about its lack of availability. More books will be coming soon. Please continue to let me know, though, if you have trouble. I make sure my publisher is in the loop.

 

Okay, more later...
