Greywalker mass market proof went off yesterday, so should arrive on time at Roc, but just in case, the Post Awful screws up again, I sent a detailed list of the six, yes only 6! errors I found. I’m so pleased.
Revision of VANISHED has been officially accepted and now enters the copyedit stage. [...]

Care for a drink? Of course you do. Here, have one of my favorites
What… You never had a drink like that before? I’ll bet you have, but you’ve probably never seen its photomicrograph before. The happily insane chemistry folks at Florida State University have captured digital images of the crystal structures of [...]

In Which Our Heroine Worries and Has a Sick Day
Posted in Stuff about the book(s), Woe is Kat, book business, rant on January 24, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Blargh… I have a cold which is making me lose time on the proof–it’s exhausting concentrating on the words and punctuation and the smaller type on the mass market galley forces me to squint even with my reading glasses on, so I feel a bit dizzy after an hour or so. But it’s [...]
Maybe a Movie…? (not mine, don’t get excited)
Posted in movies, other people's books on January 23, 2009 | 7 Comments »

That is to say… while I wasn’t paying attention, the German translation of Poltergeist was released in Germany the first of December. So far it’s getting better reviews than Greywalker and the plans for release of Underground in German are on track for August.

So… today we helped Cherie and Aric move to their new apartment. It went pretty quick and easy and we got pizza! But I fell going up the steps and skinned my knees. I realize I’m horrendously out of shape (in addition to being overweight at the moment) since carrying the few boxes and furnishings [...]
