The Headache is back. Ugh. I feel dizzy today. This is Not Good. Luckily, I have an appointment with my doctor in 2 weeks.
And I have exactly 4 squeezy lights left after the tour, though I’m thinking of making more for Bouchercon. What do you think? More Squeezy lights [...]

Wretch
Posted in Personal blither, other people's books on August 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »
That would be me. I’ve been so very out of it since I got back from tour that I’ve forgotten to update my site, my blog, and my calendar so I forgot one of my best friend’s release dates. I feel like an ass. Caitlin Kittredge’s second book, Pure Blood, was released [...]
A Very Mixed Day
Posted in Personal blither, Stuff about the book(s), ferrets on August 19, 2008 | 5 Comments »
So this being one of my free days at home before I go off to Minnesota, I had a lot of things to do. First a trip to the vet for annual Ferret exams which were… mixed.
Dexter, the nine-year-old ferret with adrenal disease, is losing his fur because we’re heading for the long, drawn-out [...]
Sunday and Monday Still on Tour

So Sunday I headed to several other bookstores before zooming down to Huntington Beach to hang out at the Barnes & Nobel in the Bella Terra center. The area’s really changed since I used to hang out there with my boyfriend back in the late 80s. The center’s very colorful and upscale and [...]
One Author, Two Days

Friday I headed to San Francisco, which was fabulous–I love this city. My escort, Frank Lauria, met me at the airport and things were pretty non-stop from there. We went to Borderlands to sign books for the fabulous Alan and Jude, then to a few other shops the particulars of which have already [...]
Portland has Wild Animals!

Or at least wild authors in robes.
So Richelle and I set off for Portland today and things went very well. Lots of chat on the train, great interview for me with Ed Goldberg at KBOO, drop-ins at nice bookstores with lots of our books and then… a really lovely signing event at Powell’s in [...]
How I Spent My Tuesday (and Wednesday)
Posted in Conventions and signings, Personal blither on August 13, 2008 | Comments Off
On Tuesday, I got to go to Seattle Mystery Bookshop, which is one of my favorite specialty stores, and sign books. The store wasn’t very busy since it was a Tuesday at lunch time, but a few books did sell and I signed a huge pile of all three books. Here am I [...]
Post-Con Update: with Pictures! (super-long)
Posted in Conventions and signings, Cool writerly people, Personal blither on August 12, 2008 | 6 Comments »
So… On Tuesday last I had my first offical signing of Underground at University Bookstore, which went quite nicely thank you–I think Richelle is much funnier than I and she actually remembered to invite people, which I didn’t. But I have an excuse: I had to leave the next morning and I had things like… [...]
Home Again… for a few days
Posted in Conventions and signings, Cool writerly people, Personal blither, Stuff about the book(s) on August 11, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I’m finally home from WorldCon. Unlike many friends, I seem to have had a perfectly ordinary flight home. And the very long weekend was fabulous with many thanks to Mario Acevedo, Warren Hammond, Richard Foss, Jeremy Lassen and Alan Beatts who all contributed to the deliquency of this writer. I’ll write more [...]
Launched
Posted in Stuff about the book(s) on August 5, 2008 | 9 Comments »
The release went pretty well, it appears. Nice crowd, though I have to admit is was largely Richelle’s doing, since I, like a dingbat, forgot the send invites to anyone for the signing. D’oh! I did particularly miss someone, though–my Minion, Thing One, who didn’t show up this time and I haven’t [...]
This is It!
Posted in Stuff about the book(s), contests and give-aways on August 5, 2008 | 2 Comments »
OMG today’s the day the book comes out! I have a ton to do, like pack and go to an interview and go sign books at University Bookshop tonight. But the sick and fabulous Mark Henry is having a contest at his blog to keep you happy. So go visit ZOMBIE CHOW [...]
Very Nearly It!
Posted in Stuff about the book(s), schwag on August 4, 2008 | 6 Comments »
This is It! Or very nearly. Tomorrow is Book Launch day for Underground! W00t!
Today I saw my very first ever copy of the actual book in the wild, as it were. I still don’t have my author copies, but I dropped in to Seattle Mystery Bookshop to sign some stock for [...]
