Hanging in
Just a quick note to let people know I'm still here. A tiring month - actually, a difficult time since Thanksgiving - though I did get my deadline set back, which will JUST allow me to get the book in.
But, due to budget cuts, classes are HUGE, which means grading 110 exams (working around the deadline) - and, it seems, everyone wants to interview me. (Boy, that sounds conceited, but it's true. For some reason even the school newspaper has decided now is the time to do so).
The nice folks at Open Road Media tell me that my first couple of books should be out within a few weeks - Whoo-hoo! They didn't say what they were, but the interview questions I received concentrate on Dragonsbane and Those Who Hunt the Night, so I'm guessing it's those. As I've mentioned before, they're sending a video crew here to film an interview (and film me playing World of Warcraft, of all things - I guess that's considered cool, or at least something not all 60-year-old college professors do), so along with everything else it means I have to clean up the study and one corner of the living room so the world will not see the squalor in which I live. (Frame those shots in tight, guys).
Once the book gets turned in (April 1) I should get a bit of a break. (Except for mid-terms...)
