I'm just going to get the bad news out of the way first–I've decided that rather than write the Ben and Fran book in the next month, well before it is due to be written, I will let it go back to its original due date, and take the next month off to recuperate from the past two weeks. I know how disappointed some of you will be that the B&F book will come out in November 2010 rather than May 2010, but given the recent happenings, I just don't have the heart to write it at this time.

Given that the

Thank you all again for your words of sympathy. They mean a lot to my husband and me.

In a desperate attempt to distract myself, I created an account at a new online service called BookGlutton. BG allows you to read books online with others, leave comments about the book, and chat with others who are reading the same book in real time.

Accounts are free. The books contained there are limited, I believe, to those out of copyright, but I thought that BookGlutton could be used by those of us who need

Since I'm not quite back to full steam after my night spent in the ER–although I do now have a much finer appreciation of just how lovely morphine is–I am offering instead the new short story I wrote for the Penguin site.

This short deals with Alec, so those of you who were wondering if/how he was going to ever find another Beloved, here's your answer. Just click on the Crouching Vamp cover to read the story.

Today’s field trip is to an amusing post, and even more amusing comments. The subject is one that is of an adult nature, so the woman posting the item chose to use a creative euphemism for it: grilled cheese.

I now giggle every time my husband, who hasn’t read this, asks me if I want a grilled cheese sandwich.

I’ve got a killer headache today that seems to be defeating everything Mr. Tylenol has to offer, so this is going to be short: what is the most creative thing you’ve done (and I’m not talking about producing children)?

Woot for good news Tuesdays! I don’t actually have much good news other than I finished editing the couple of bonus chapters I wrote for Steamed, and it’s off to my editor. And it’s sunny out. That counts as good news. Now I just need to whip up a glossary for Steamed, and I can start…are you ready for it?…the Ben and Fran book!

Hoobah!

Spill with your good news. I’m looking forward to hearing it.

Since some people (I’m looking at you, Steph) were questioning the wisdom of NAL placing a sticker on the lovely sparkly cover of Me and My Shadow, I figured I’d post a blown up shot of just what that is.

Me and My Shadow is going to be part of the Great Reads program, which is a very cool thing. Great Reads books are picked by the publisher to participate, with the benefit of receiving extra attention by booksellers, a different sort of promotion, etc. Hence the need to put the Great Reads brand
