Friday Five

Hopefully as this posts, I'll be on a bus heading for Yorktown on a field trip. Hopefully.

1. I'm a Passionate Plume finalist!! Settler's Mine 3: The Woman finaled in the futuristic category.

I'm so excited. For a full list of finalists. Congratulations all.

2. I got some other good news today. I will share as soon as I can. Hopefully all will go well. *G*.

3. Is is bad when you tell your kids you're hopefully going to be dancing to your favorite song next week (at RT) and they start singing it? *blinks*

4. I'm almost packed for RT. No, LOL I'm not that much of a planner. I was debating shipping items or carrying a second bag onto the airline. I needed to see how that would go (i.e. shipping versus the second bag charge). The second bag won *sigh*. Not going to be fun at the airport...

5. Why oh why did I take time out to watch Chuck and Deadliest Catch? Because they were both so darn good this week.

And a freebie: I finally read Snow Blind by Lori G. Armstrong. I've been putting it off forever because I knew it was the last Julie Collins novel. I loved it. Her arc through the four novels, has been both realistic and awesome. I'm not happy to see her story end but where it ended up, it's believable and I liked. Very much so. I think I've decided that more people need to know about Lori G. Armstrong. My goal is to bring back one signed book of hers and give it away at my newsletter group when I get back from RT.

May the muses have finals

Monday blah blah

Amazon is definitely the talk of the 'net. Yes, at least three of my print books are affected. They are saying, "glitch." I wrote to Amazon and would encourage everyone to do the same thing. If it is policy, let them know how you feel about it.

I posted at Ladies of the Club, Glitch or not, it's troubling.

I'm working on the next Blood Lines. Characters are very loud. A good thing. I'm almost done with the first chapter. I think this one is going to be more thrilleresque, more like Blood Kiss and Conduit.

Has anyone read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card? I'm going to read it and am contemplating letting the oldest read it. I think in some ways, she's getting bored with "children's" books. I wish I could remember when I started on more adult books...

I'm reading Snow Blind by Lori G. Armstrong. I had been putting it off because I know it's the last Julie Collins novel *sniffle*. I'm loving it. Julie is much the same, yet she's grown through the novels, too. I can't wait for her new mystery series!

Did I mention who I'm sitting by at the Giant Book Fair at RT? Yes, Lori G. Armstrong. *squeee* LOL I'm wondering if I can somehow slide all four books in for her to sign.

May the muses have lunch
