Well...here we are.

So, back in America now!  I'm living in a hotel room at the moment, but have the time (and the wifi, yay!!!) to give a quick status report.  No one wants to hear about embarrassing raptures over food (although I did follow your advice, Tiffany, and it was entirely delicious:) so lets move on to the important stuff.  Like when am I going to get this blog up to snuff, update my published works and upcoming projects page, put some excerpts up, run a contest or two and, most importantly, post more of Pandora.

The answer is: soon!  While the 'rents are in town I must cater to their needs, but I'll have more Pandora posted by the end of the week, and will try to update the rest of the blog this weekend.  As for a contest/giveaway, it turns out some of my awesome publishers sent me double copies of numerous books, and I want to give them to interested parties.  I don't know exactly how I'll be doing this yet, but it will happen within the next week.  Two are Dreamspinner anthologies, one is Storm Moon Press' Wild Passions antho and the other is Cleis Press' I Like To Watch anthology, yummy exhibitionism and voyeurism stories.  Think about it.  Suggestions are welcome.  I can respond to emails easier now, so don't be shy.

Now, off to breakfast.  Oh, the possibilities...

If I May Digress...

Sooo, the blog is going nicely.  Got links to some friends up, put links into my published work's page.  Did, you know, stuff.  I'm writing, editing, getting ready for more calls and trying to put together some longer pieces for people.  Trying to figure out how to post some free shorter stuff here.  Some of this I'll do today, but my good intentions were waylaid by (drumroll please): THE BOX FROM AMERICA!!!!

Actually it's from Germany, where my folks live, but it might as well be America for all the awesomeness that inhabits it.  Parmesan cheese.  Brownie mix.  Crackers.  Plaster of paris and shrink-tubing (there are times we'd kill for a decent hardware store.)  Magazines.  It is pure delight.  I need to go and revel in the decadence for a while, then I'll be able to properly focus, fortified by Wheat Thins and brownies. 

Right, so, this is a writing blog, not an everyday event blog, but these boxes only come once every blue moon, and they must be properly acknowledged.  Now I'll get back to writing.
