The guestbook is gone
We almost took the guestbook down once. Then we thought, that taking down the guestbook would be sort of punishing the nice, reasonable people along with the rude and mean-spirited. So we tried to reward the people who left reasonable messages, by talking about the nice stuff, and ignoring the mean stuff. Reward good behavior, ignore bad. It worked for awhile then we got a new moderator on the fan message board. There were getting to be so many messages and so much other work that Darla was overwhelmed and needed some help. All you guys that thought Darla… Read More

Tired tonight
God, I'm tired. And not for any fun reasons. Had to get groceries late because of a friend's child being in the hospital. We're hoping they'll only keep him over night, but we won't know until tomorrow. I won't go into details because it's not my kid, and I don't know how she'd feel about me sharing. Contrary to modern American television culture you don't share everything just because you know it for a fact, or better yet, a rumor. But it put things late, and I'm beat, but my daughter is upstairs waiting for her good night kiss,… Read More

We’re number six!
It's official, A STROKE OF MIDNIGHT is number six on the New York Times list, and on the USA Today list! Very yea! The book is selling amazingly well. Very cool. But if I stop writing about how amazing it is that this book is doing so well, I can actually go back to working on the current book that I'm writing. Jon and I did go out and celebrate. This weekend we've got our friend Greg up visiting. He's one of those friends that it's good to just be in the room with, not talking, not doing, just… Read More

My arm feels so much better
The signing at the Crestwood Barnes and Noble went great. Great because I didn't have to take a single break, or ice my arm. Yea! Any of you that have been to an event in the last few years will remember the ice bags, the break in the middle of the signing so I could rest my arm. But Saturday we didn't have to do any of that. I wasn't in agony, or even in pain. Discomfort, yes, but not pain, and the discomfort was only at the very end. We had between 250 and 300 people, with three… Read More
It give me hope that there are still people out there who understand that Life is too serious to be taken seriously.

Stroke of Midnight
It's here, at long last! A STROKE OF MIDNIGHT is finally here, yea! It came out yesterday April 12th. You can finally buy the book and find out what I've been nattering about here for months. Only you, the blog readers, know how fast the turn around was between finishing the book and having it hit the shelves. I think it's the fastest turn around that I've ever had between completion and pub date. On one hand it's great because it means the book comes out sooner, on the other hand it's like didn't I just finish this book.… Read More

A perfect day
I've been meaning to put this blog up for a couple of days, but first the internet connection went down, then I had to shop for clothes. AAH. Yes, I know the girl union is going to come and get my union card, but dear, God, I hate to shop. But what I wanted to put on the blog was this: Sunday was an almost perfect day. It was warm and lovely, late spring, almost an early summer heat. If I'd been in Indiana where I was raised, I'd have said, summer, but here in St. Louis Sunday didn't… Read More
