Not well, but . . .

Filed in: blog

I’m at least functional. Still coughing, and I woke up this morning with my vocal cords merged into one non-operational lump, but I have more stamina, and I’m coping with most of the world. In celebration, a few notes:

There’s a real odd thrill that comes with finding your upcoming book title on Amazon, as if that makes it even more “real” than the contract. THE FACE OF DECEIT showed up on the site this week, ready for pre-order. It ships in September. No cover yet, and probably not until June or so. Still. It’s another listing under my name, and that does the ego good, even if the body is still feeling like a wrung-out rag.

Two…. HI, BETSY!!! Talk about voices from the past. I got an email from another friend this afternoon, telling me that in her move to North Carolina, she’d found links to a mutual friend. Just this afternoon, I was at Betsy’s blog, checking it out. To those who are NOT acquainted with my stories from MTSU, Betsy occupies most of my favorite memories from my early 20s, and I’ve not seen her since. One more point in favor of the Internet.

Finally, check out the new headshot. I hope to make it part of the website revision later in the year.

That’s it for now. Back to my research for the next novel, which is about all I have energy left for.
