Braincramp!

The Essay of DOOOM is now finished. My brain can uncramp and return to normal functioning. Well, normal-for-me functioning, I guess. Part of being under a tight, tight deadline is that once one has managed the impossible, it takes a while for the twitching and frothing to die down. So I should really get on the wordcount I need to be cranking out, and take another look at that edit letter, and there’s the hoovering to be done, and more dishes, and…

…you know what? I’m going to set the timer for twenty minutes and take a nap. Because thinking of everything I have to do is just making me run barking in circles. And that’s not good for anyone.

Regular blogging will return tomorrow. Peace out.

Jealousy Winners!

I’ve been hard at work on a project that’s under tight deadline–you know, when you get invited in because you’re someone’s Only Hope, things can get crazy. As Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi both found out. Heh.

So, first of all, I’m announcing the winners of the two signed copies of Jealousy! With the help of Random.org, I picked two commenters. The books go to:

#33, KLD, who said: So, so, so, so, so excited for Jealousy to come out! Huzzah!

And #67, A. Rick, who said: I am so excited for Jealousy!!!

Me too, guys! Me too. Now, listen carefully: use this link to drop me an email with your snail-mail addresses and I will get the books posted for you. You must, as I said, be in the US.

I’m chasing my own tail trying to get this thing finished and turned in on short notice, so that’s it for today. Go forth and be awesome, dear Readers. Today is your day.

Over and out.

ETA: This just landed in my inbox–a chance to win the upcoming Dark And Stormy Knights anthology! Come on, you know you want it…
