Not to give away, to wear. The weather is so lovely right now (79.9F and 10% humidity with a 3-5knot breeze) that I went to get my summer clothes out (finally) and I have almost no t-shirts that still fit and aren’t stained, moth-eaten or kind of tragic. I seem to have only [...]

Recent Pics (to tide you over)

The battle to preserve the “googlie” building that housed the Ballard Denny’s at 15th and Market has been lost irrevocably. Personally I think it looks just as good in this pic as it ever did while still a Denny’s. And the service and food are probably better.
In the opposite mode there is Richelle [...]

And they are misbehaving. I suspect I’ll be posting less than my usual sporadic post-schedule until I get Book 4 back on track. Booooo….
Maybe Not….

I just got the postcards addressed and ready to send. It’s a smaller pile than I thought and I still have postage, so if anyone is still wanting one (or some for friends) let me know and I’ll get those out.
O Happy Day

OK so… Dentist yesterday, girly-doctor today and everything looks pretty good for this middle aged pudge-girl.
So I took the car to the State Inspection Station and it passed first time through with no problems. Then off to the DOL where they gladly took my $360 to let me own the car and now it [...]
Books of Fury!

Do you love books? I’ll bet you don’t love them as much as Buddhist Monkey does in Happy Tree Friends’ Books of Fury. (Warning: cartoon violence and gore.)
*Thanks to the evil Jeff (aka: Motorcycle Man, Voice of Sunday Funnies, Ima-Tow-Your-Ass) Cavanaugh for the link.
Oh Bloody Hell

The car needs an emissions test before the State will allow me to transfer title and register it in my name. Don’t these people know they are intruding on my revision and writing time? Now I remember why I wasn’t so upset to get rid of my old car (I loved that car, [...]
Two Strange Things
Posted in Personal blither, book business, tagged book business on June 16, 2008 | 4 Comments »
First: I can no longer say I don’t own a car. After 14.5 years without one, I finally broke down and bought a 16-year-old Toyota so I can manage the groceries and errands for the boat and get to a lot of my appointments, signings, friends, and so on without either begging rides, taking [...]
Movement of the Boaty Kind
Posted in Personal blither on June 15, 2008 | 6 Comments »
So… we spent the weekend getting ready for and actually moving the boat to our new slip “on the salt”–that is out on the ocean instead of in the canal. This was a lot more work and horror than one might expect. As with any other move, everything takes longer and is much [...]
I Have a Little List(ing)

It’s official (since it’s now listed at Amazon): Mean Streets will be released January 6, 2009! Preliminary art is really sweet, too.
And some additional dates have been added to the Underground Tour, which you can see on my Appearances page.
Meanwhile, we’re moving the boat to a new marina this weekend–not very far from where [...]
Postcards!

Penguin has made some half-size postcards of the Underground cover and sent me about 4,000 of them. Yes they are red, but they are not foiled. If you’d like one (or a lot), please send me your mailing address at: kat(dot)rchrdsn(at)gmail(dot)com. Don’t post your address here, since you know how public blogs [...]
