Back from the Curmudgeon Books author signing!
Long day today, selling books. I actually did sell some! I’m always surprised when that happens, for some reason. I’d like to thank the nice folks at Curmudgeon Books for not only giving me the spot, but also for offering to take a couple of copies to sell on consignment. I have no idea if they will sell, but: I now got books in a bookstore, somewhere. I score that as a win, all on its own.

PS: They did say I could come back, but I have to check times with my wife.
PPS: If you missed it, you can buy my books here.
PPPS: No NaNoWriMo tonight. I’m too exhausted.
Book of the Week: Blood, Oil and Love (Combined Operations Book 2).
As has been noted, Dorothy Grant’s Blood, Oil and Love (Combined Operations Book 2) is a romance novel. With Special Forces missions. On distant worlds. And gunplay! Clearly, this is an underserved market. #commissionearned
Today’s the day! I’m signing books at Curmudgeon Books!

‘All Star.’
Stuck in my head all day.
NaNoWriMo, Day 5: 1,320/23,280.
Under the circumstances, I score this as a win.
Patreon!“All right,” I groused, “so he hates you so much he doesn’t even want the pleasure of annoying you in person. But why me? I don’t know a damned thing about software piracy, and I don’t think I’ve ever run over the Adjudication Council’s dog.”
Maki checked a strap, then tightened it further. “I don’t know, Pam. Maybe because you’ve been on One-Eighteen the longest? You’re an old hand by now.”
“Yeah, but it’s only been five years — hold on, is that really the longest anybody’s been here?”
“Yeah, I looked it up. You got here fifteen months before Nur did, three years before me. And nobody stays here more than four years. Didn’t you notice the bonus on your renewal contract?”
“No.” Actually, at the time I had thought it was pretty high, but I had decided that if they wanted to give me extra easy money, well, I wasn’t their accountant. “Why is there so much turnover? This planet’s a dream to live on.”
“And that’s a good thing?” Maki asked, with a crooked grin. “I’ve had dreams I was happy to wake up from.”
Oh! Sorry. Today’s my wedding anniversary.
I was also dealing with the book signing tomorrow and trying to deal with the first day of the new marking period, so the day’s been fairly hectic. And more so, the rest of this weekend. So I’m a bit behind on stuff right now, although I have some hopes of making wordcount later tonight.

In the E-mail: Blood, Oil and Love (Combined Operations Book 2)
I thought Dorothy Grant’s Blood, Oil and Love (Combined Operations Book 2) was a direct sequel to her book Going Ballistic, but it’s just set in the same universe and on the same planet. But that’s all right; it’s a good book anyway. And the price is right, too! Check it out.
