Age/Sex/Location going to print!

I was sitting at my desk yesterday browsing through a series of very uninteresting e-mails (read: promotions form Huggies, Pandora and a couple of job offers for blogging about cheese) when suddenly I noticed an email from my publisher.

"What's this?" I pondered as my cursor hovered over the e-mail link.

When I clicked it, and it opened, the heavens above me opened and the angels started singing (read: the fluorescent lights above me flickered a little and the baby passed some gas). The note was a very pleasant one and there was an attachment.

"Ooooh, what is this?" I wondered aloud as I clicked on the download icon.

When the attachment downloaded and finally opened I found...

The layout of Age/Sex/Location as it will appear in paperback! No longer will the novel be confined to the pixelated screen or the e-ink of your reader device. No longer will it only be floating about the ether waiting for you to download it. No longer will it be bound by the invisible forces of the internet!

Soon, you will be able to purchase Age/Sex/Location in paperback form from your local book seller. When it's out, I might have to come up with some sort of contest or prize for YouTube videos of readers going to find the book on bookstore shelves.

In the meantime, feel free to download Age/Sex/Location on your Kindle, Nook or other device. Be sure to go back and write a review of the novel - positive, negative or indifferent, your comments will help me as I write my next novel (which I am about 20,000 words into already so look for it soon, too).

Currently Reading: Lamb by Christopher Moore

Don't Wait

I awoke Friday morning to a message from someone whose name was only vaguely familiar. Laying in bed, scrolling through Facebook on my cell phone, I opened the message. It was a quick note from a woman who was good friends with a woman who I have been close to for over a decade. I read it, and reeled with shock. My friend, a woman who had been with me through the best and worst of times, is gone. Taken from this life because of a driver who didn't stop at a stop sign on a country road. "Accidents happen," many say. It's true, but it isn't right. We never know when our time is going to be up. Today might be your last day, or mine. There's no way of predicting what will happen tomorrow... this evening... fifteen minutes from now. There are many tragedies stemming from this simple accident. First, a mother with fierce love of her two teenage children was stolen from them. A woman who was a pillar of support for so many has fallen from their list of who to cal...

Proofing.

The first printed copy of A Giraffe in the Room has arrived in my office. The giant "Proof" stamp is wonderful to see, and I am looking forward to picking through the pages to make sure that the novelette is ready to be released commercially. Every time writing takes a step forward - whether it is the completion of a piece, reading through editing mark ups for the first time, or getting a print proof in the mail, it is a wonderful feeling. I hope that everyone who finds their passion gets the chance to feel the pride of taking a step forward.  I will say that at under 50 pages, I think A Giraffe in the Room looks a little bit like a pamphlet that someone would hand you through the open crack of your screen door as they try to tell you about the Good News. Other than the brevity of the thing (it is a novelette, after all), I'm very pleased with the little bit of it that I've had a chance to look over. I hope to comb over it this week, and estimate that copies ...

Missing Deadlines

Life - not only is it the final frontier, but sometimes it is also a whirlwind. These days, I feel an awful lot like Toto in the Wizard of Oz. It is like I've been shoved in a basket and taken through the tornado to a land that looks like nothing I have ever seen before. My husband and I made the difficult decision to close down our retail store and move the whole business back home. That has translated into weeks (or months?) of sorting, selling, packing and storing everything that the business has owned. Right now, there is a mountain of inventory, paperclips, toddler-work-toys and extension cords rising up from the floor of my living room. I have rehomed a fraction of the mountain in the last two weeks, and I hope that eventually I will muster up the courage and energy I need to tackle the rest of it. Add to that weeks upon weeks of birthdays, holidays, the start of summer... and writing has gotten pushed far down the list of priorities. Not that I'd be able to writ...
