Tired Now

I know this is going to sound unbelievable, but it turns out that three cities in three days, viewing six to seven houses each, with a bunch of driving every day, and oh yeah, two offers (one rejected one accepted) is EXHAUSTING. Yes, tongue firmly in cheek.

And I’m sorry I’ve been more absent than not from the blog. But–

Well, but the next month things will be funky (if all goes well) as we get this house ready to go up, and things packed to move.

Neverthless, Bowl of Red is on tr...

Home Again

Should be doing a post, but very tired.

Put in an offer, but there were three, and though we went above asking, we were rejected.

Which leaves us…..

Making an offer for “#2 house we’re considering.”

In probably an hour or so.

V. tired. Working on Bowl of Red.

But wanted you to know I’m okay.

Everything All the Time

So this week is special, and I think we’re going to have an ultra special Wednesday Vignettes and Promo.

I’m so sorry, but we’re making a last ditch push to find a home in intended landing place. If we can’t…. If we can’t we’ll start search elsewhere. (Yes, Doug, Matthew, Emily I know. I might come to you sometime next weekend, though looking that far away will be special. This far away is killing me.)

This is why we didn’t have a second post yesterday, as I got sucked down the rabbit ...

RHODES NOW DOWNLOADABLE

Yes, I know. And yes, (Mary,) I’m putting the promo post up in a couple of hours. We’re dealing with “finding a place to move” plans.

It still doesn’t have a paper edition, which must be some new level of insanity at Amazon/Bowker. I’ll deal with it hopefully today too.

FOR NOW and meanwhile:

OTHER RHODES

Lily Gilden has a half-crazed cyborg in her airlock who thinks he’s Nick Rhodes, a fictional 20th Century detective.  If she doesn’t report him for destruction, she’s guilty of ...

READ IT AND BE BRAVE

On this occluded independence day, I beg you to read the declaration of independence.

I think it’s a mandatory religious observance for my fictional (mostly) USAians on their high holy holiday, but hey, it won’t hurt you either.

Most of all, remember you’re Americans. Remember the words that make men free and make tyrants quake.

It is our duty, our obligation and our very great privilege to make sure that in the next decade, in the next century, in the next millennium, on Earth or ...

I’m All Out of Brain

I seem to have woken up without a brain, its space replaced with a massive headache.

I really want to work on bowl of red, and will if brain comes back later.

For now, have this, the snippet of what I’m afraid has become Tom and Kyrie’s Wedding, Enter the Dragon.

Bowl of Red

Atop one of the highest mountains of the world, there lived a dragon.  And the dragon was the most powerful beast in the world, able to listen to and control all of the magical animals e...

OTHER RHODES CAN NOW BE PRE-ORDERED

Not on paper yet, because there was an error between chair and keyboard, or between gray matter and fingers. I think. Amazon tells me to fix the highlighted, but I can’t find anything highlighted. Will try again today.

But anyway, ladies and germophobics:

OTHER RHODES:

she’s guilty of a capital crime.

Sounding the Tocsin

Sound the tocsin. Mayday. Mayday. Sauve-qui-peut.

If you heard those cries in the night, what would you do? Would you turn over and go to sleep again?

If someone rode to your door, their horse all a-foam or their car boiling over and screamed “the English enemy is coming” would you fluff your pillow and think “I’ll just give them a warning and call them back from the ledge. They’re stupid and misguided. Once they are informed, they’ll be fine” and go back to blissful sleep?

And no...
