Music, music everywhere, but nothing to listen to
Okay, so A STROKE OF MIDNIGHT is finally put to bed. The last calls from the editors came today. The last e-mails. The copy editors caught something that I had totally missed. It had Rhys simply vanishing from a scene and then using magic to call in and talk to Doyle, as if he was still outside the fairie mounds talking to the police. There'd been two different versions of this scene. One had Rhys there through out the section and one had sent him out and kept him out with the human police. When I glommed them together,… Read More

A new hobby
Just a quick note before we go upstairs to bed. Wanted everyone to know that we survived the rewrite. Yea! Well, I guess you guys knew that. Jon tells me he posted something earlier today about our down time tomorrow with the electricity. Sherry helped us clean the dining room and my office. The two rooms where we divided up the time for the rewrite of A Stroke of Midnight. All the used sticky notes are thrown away. All the ones that didn't get used this book have been moved away from the computers. The area above my main… Read More

Down Time
OK, Tomorrow, February 25th we are going to be without power. Its part of the addition we're putting on. If you order late today or tomorrow, it probably won't get shipped until Monday. The websites will be up, as will our email. We just won't be able to get to them.
I'll post some new pictures of the progress, today or Saturday.
Late

It’s a book!
After a long, long pregnancy and labor, finally, Jonathon and I are thrilled to announce it's a bouncing baby book. Weight: eight pounds. We put the little sucker in Fed-Ex. It's off to New York, and I don't think we will be seeing it again until it is ready to go on the shelves sometime close to April. We worked until three A. M. one night. Next night I called it at midnight because anytime I stopped pacing, I swayed in place. Between nine and ten o'clock for last night. We'd so hoped to be done before we went… Read More

Thanks
This is a thank you to everyone who sent in positive messages last weekend. So many positive messages that the e-mail crashed three times. This is not a complaint, guys. Darla explained to me that the crash happened because of the overwhelming number of positive messages. That apparently, everyone in the silent majority got together all at once and decided to let us know how much they love the books and how shocked they were at how rude some people have been. One message we got several times was, if I had been that rude to anyone, they'd be… Read More

Romance
Happy Valentine's Day to Everyone! We thought we might give a list of romantic stuff we did this year. No, it won't be a complete list, I don't know you people that well. My favorite romantic gesture this year from Jon, has to be the fuzzy stuffed toy black plague bacillus from Giant Microbes. Why is this my favorite? Because I didn't know they existed, and because Jon knows how much I love scary cute stuff. You gotta love a fuzzy black microbe with huge blue eyes, and a tag that has an electron microscope picture of the actual… Read More

A quick note of thanks
Thanks to everyone that's given us advice and sympathy for the recent illnesses. To the advice of eating more fruit, especially oranges. The kiddo adores the clemantines. She was eating two to three a day, until her tummy let her know that was a little too much. But at the time of her first virus she was averaging one a day. We've all been taking vitamins, eating fruit, eating healthy. I guess sometimes, you just can't fight off the germs. Gotta go eat lunch and get back to work. I'm in the rewrites for A STROKE OF MIDNIGHT. Which… Read More
