One of *Those* Days

Posted in grumpy as fuck, i'm a big dummy, pain, rant | 6 Comments
So, yeah. Remember a few days ago I was bitching about my left knee popping? Got up from where I was sitting last night on the floor and *poof*.   Doesn’t exactly pop anymore…because I managed to hyper-extend it. There’s no swelling, but it definitely bends further back now than it should (hey, it matches the right knee, whee!) and I couldn’t put any weight on it at all going up and down the stairs. I suspect it will be okay if I just leave it alone for a few days – there’s no real pain unless I attempt to twist it or climb stairs. (Just a little crampy when I first attempt to stand – nice shot of tension from my back to my ankle. If I had to guess, part of this was probably caused from when I went to go get my back realigned on Tuesday. The doc has… Read more

I Can Haz Editor!

Posted in blog | Tagged , , | Leave a comment
There’s something rather awesome about bacon you can cook in your toaster.** There’s also something awesome about being assigned a new editor after several weeks of author-limbo.

I smell, don’t I?” and so on and so on…) *ahem* So, without further ado, I’d like to announce that I’ll be working with awesomesauce editor Megan McKeever! (And there was much rejoicing, especially since Book 2 is due in…two weeks.) ** Of course, Reddi-Bacon didn’t last too long  – even though they were basically glorified bacon pop-tarts, apparently no one figured out how to not get the grease to leak out of the tinfoil thing they were wrapped in. And what does grease do when it meets the heating element of a toaster? Yeah. Unrelated and also awesome? A breakfast meat nativity scene –>… Read more

First Review

Posted in blog | Tagged , | Leave a comment
I got sent the first review of Brush of Darkness yesterday (you can read it over Night Owl Reviews.) BoD was given a lovely 4 out of 5 stars, so color me quite pleased. 🙂 And no, I don’t think I’ll be shouting out about every review I get, but this is my first one so I’m going to give myself a bit of a pass. (And honestly, I’m just grateful that they didn’t hate it – for all that I’ve come so far, there’s still that part of me that’s just waiting to be exposed as some sort of fraud. I imagine that’s a pretty typical feeling for n00b authors, though.) The review does make some valid points about not wrapping everything up…not sure that’s going to get any better by the end of the second book either. *cough* We’ll see. 🙂… Read more
