The copyedits, that is. Are off to the publisher(s). Yay! Because I have a long-term contract with Piatkus, I also have to send electronic versions to them simultaneously, but both are now on their way. And I breathe a sigh of relief as I begin sorting my clothes for LA and [...]

I feel kind of silly about it, but I just noticed that the Amazon listing for John Meany’s US debut novel, Bone Song, is up with a publication date of February 26. Why am I excited? Because I read the galley back in August while I was on my tiny book tour and [...]

And here I was having such fun getting no sleep and playing Wow… when the Copyedits arrived in the mail. They’re due back January 30. Not that big a deal and at 1/3 done already, I’m really surprised at how fast they are going. Why? Because Penguin changed copyeditors on me [...]

Saturday February 2 at 2 p.m.–Dark Delicacies in Burbank. I’m gonna be signing with Eddie Munster! Del and Sue have been very sweet and added me to the program with Butch Patrick and Helen Darras who are promoting Butch’s biography Eddie Munster AKA Butch Patrick. I know it’s really silly, but [...]
Heading for LA

Hey there, Cats and Kittens! I’m all booked to be in LA the first week of February (literally the First through the Seventh.) Still nailing down the details for book stores and stuff, but if you’re in the area, I should be posting some specifics soon and I’m a HUGE sucker for meet ups.
An Evening of Trash

This was an odd day. Started late, as it often does, because I stay up late and sleep in. Had a wrestle with the ferrets–the fun kind–then the usual paperwork and running about. And then…
I was standing by the sink trying to make a small hole in a tube of lip goop [...]
Oh, For Heaven’s Sake!

The ferret bled on my jacket today. Dex that is, not Taz. He gets these little mast cell tumors on his shoulders and side and they itch, so he scratches… until he bleeds and having dark fur, I don’t see them until I look down at my silver-gray fleece jacket and see [...]
Starting Off Crazy

Alright, so…. Went to friends’ party and had a lovely time for NYE–moderate drinking only and plenty of good company. We made lists of every thing in 2007 that “sucked out loud” (mine was really long) then burned them and had a huge, noisy send-off to the old year with about 400 holiday poppers–the house [...]
