Thursday Thirteens

I'm featured in the Thursday Thirteens today at Nina Pierce's blog. Drop by and say hi!

Warning--lots of very pretty but possibly NSFW nekkid dudes. :-)

New Video and Some More New Stuff!

First things first:

Here's a new book video for Where There's a Will, which officially arrives in paperback tomorrow, August 5.



To celebrate the book release, I'll be hanging out at the Samhain Cafe. I'll be talking about Where There's a Will, and I'll give away a copy of the book. I'll also be giving away one of these:

This T-shirt features a depiction of Inveraray Castle, which Chloe and Malcolm visit during the book. It's made from a picture I took of the castle when I was visiting Scotland umpteen years ago.

If you don't want to wait for the drawing, or if you'd like to look at the other designs available, check out my new Cafe Press page. I've got a couple of other designs there, also based on some of my personal photos of Scotland.

Hope you enjoy, and I hope to see you at the Samhain Cafe tomorrow!

It's a Party! 8-5-09 at the Samhain Cafe

Apparently I have no ability to keep track of my own release dates. Where There's a Will officially releases on August 5th, not August 25th (it's already selling at amazon.com, but that's another story). In my defense, I have an email filed away that says 8-25 on it...

In any case, regardless of my authorial confusion (and there's nothing new there, let me tell you), I'll be at the Samhain Cafe group on August 5th talking about my new paperback release. I'll give away some prizes, and I'll be debuting some new things I'm sure you'll all enjoy. So be sure to stop by and say hi on August 5th--next Wednesday--at the Samhain Cafe Yahoo group.

Shiny Paperbacks!

My author's copies of Where There's a Will arrived today, and they are very, very pretty! The book's available for preorder at your online bookstore of choice.

Stay tuned for news about special offers and other fun stuff that will become available as we get closer to the release date. Where There's a Will arrives on August 5.

Cure Writer's Block

Or, you know, find a place to dork around when you should be writing... We all need that, right?

Widgets, writing prompts, and other fun stuff to poke your recalcitrant muse with a stick.

A Nice-Looking Ebook Reader

With all the brouha about the Kindle, you'd think it was the only e-reader on the market. Fortunately, it's not.

Here's an article about a neat new reader, the Cool-er, produced in the UK. Not only is it slim and handy, it comes in awesome colors! Even purple! If they'd bring the price down just a snudge I'd be sorely tempted...

The Beginning of the End for an Institution?

The Adams County, Colorado library system is apparently phasing out the Dewey Decimal System. I don't know whether to be sad or relieved. I never could figure that darn thing out...
