It's that time again! Time to go commune with nature for a week. My father, two family friends and I will make up the contingent this time. We're 5 days on the Colorado Trail starting tomorrow, so I'll be out of touch until late next Tuesday. So yes, that means no Train post. I'm sorry, darlins! I'll make it up to you.
So wish me luck, ie no fires, no bears, no falls, no blisters and no food poisoning!

Hiking, Fresh Fiction and Cambodia
I'm back! I have returned from the Colorado Trail as of Tuesday evening, tired and sore and walked into the ground by my 68-year-old dad, which is partly embarrassing for me but mostly awesome for him. I have to say, with the damage I did to my feet I feel like one of Cinderella's ugly stepsisters.
Yeah, that's my foot, apparently a very imperfect fit for my new boots. Note to self: do NOT break those things in during a backpacking trip, you dummy.
Okay, other stuff! I'm featured on the Fresh Fiction blog today chatting about romancing supervillains. This is a very cool, fairly mainstream blog, so the fact that it picked up my new release to feature is awesome. Come and visit me! http://freshfiction.com/page.php?id=7351
Finally, my inestimable, fantastic mother-in-law has left for the Peace Corps as of today. She'll be in Cambodia by the 26th. She turns 63 two days later. She is fucking amazing, and I'm so proud of her. There is literally no one else in my extended family with the chutzpah to do something like this.
So, as for other updates...more Redstone next week, as I'm up to my neck in things to catch up on right now. :/ A few other little announcements here and there to come...yeah. Pretty much that. Thanks, darlins, hope all is well :)

Hi Ho, Off I Go
So, tomorrow I take off for this beautiful place to do some backpacking.
How idyllic and remote! Me and five other people, because nothing says "Hello wilderness!" like a crowd, are going to kick ass and take names. Mostly names I have to teach myself to pronounce correctly (it's spelled "Saguache" but you say "Sawatch," who knew) but it'll be fun. However! No phone, no computer, no nothin'. Including no Redstone next week, and I'm so sorry. I'll make it up to you.
By the way, if you're commenting on my blog tour and you win the prize, I will email you as soon as I get back! We are gonna NAME this Villain (or Hero), baby!
Have a great weekend, guys :)

I'll be MIA for the next four days
Hi guys
Just a quick post to let you all know that I'm heading off on a 4-day backpacking trip tomorrow morning. I won't be back until Tuesday afternoon, which means that The Academy is going to be out on Thursday next week, not Tuesday. I'm sorry for the delay but I just didn't have time to write anything, what with my visitors and the inevitable drama that follows them like an evil smaze. The bloom is off the rose, ladies and gentlemen, but the show must go on.
So, yes, me and my father and two of his friends from Jersey are going to hike 40 miles of the Colorado trail, at a not too heinous elevation, and hopefully the weather and the health issues will be kind to us. My man and my mother are going to have to share the house, alone, for that period of time. I pray they don't murder each other. Honestly, that's my one hope through all of this. I can't even think about next week yet, it's going to be so insane. Anyway. If I get a picture of anything exceptionally Colorado and cool, I'll share it.
Happy weekend, darlins.
