I won a signed Anne Cain print (see also)--want to help me pick which one? I'm also hoping I might be able to substitute in the cover of one of my books with an Anne Cain cover. Oh like, Wolfkin, Father of Dragons or King of Dragons ;)

Editing, writing, sweating.... same as usual. Circling the partials to see what I will write next. If there is a sequel you are particularly hoping to see next now would be a good time to mention it. :)

-1: I was told about someone file sharing Broken Sword
+1: The file sharing site pulled the file within an hour.
-1: A suit I ordered from China arrived. It was meant to be UK14/USA12, which I am by a safe margin. However it arrived with a jacket one size too small and the skirt at least two sizes too small for me.
+ 1: Samhain sent me a birthday card. Several publishers have sent me Xmas cards but this is my first birthday card. :)

I will call the day a draw.

I am almost 36, the age both Marilyn Monroe and James Dean died. I suppose it is now officially too late for me to become very, very famous and then immortalise myself by dying while still gorgeous.

Is it venal to talk about money? I like to have goals. My current goal is to get my average (over 6 month periods) online earnings up over $500. It currently lurks around $300. Because there are only so many books I can write I want some other avenues to contribute. Here is the baseline, up to the end of May.

The book income should have a spike around July/August with two more books due from Loose Id and one from Samhain. They entered the pipeline at rather different times (about a year apart) but fate has contrived to pop them out the other end around the same time.

I need one of these

The cover gods, and Croco Designs, be praised.

Of course, I probably would write that. Except I think it's been done.
