I fear I lost the plot, and the schedule too

(looks at the date)


Whoops. Er, sorry . . .


Life has been ridiculously busy lately. The day job has been more than usually hectic, plus first there were edits on book four, then copy-edits, then proof-pages, together with working on book five . . .


Anyhow, we are about to hit a few days pause, as I will be attending Fantasy in the Court on Thursday in London, and then Nine Worlds convention for the next few days after that, and then going to visit my parents for a few days of (what feels like) well-deserved collapse.


But just for the record – I aten’t dead (to quote Granny Weatherwax) yet, I’m just keeping my head down so much that I forget about things like blogging. For which apologies. My current reading matter includes Strange Practice by Vivian Shaw (very good), the Masks of Nyarlathotep Companion (also very good), and Crewel Embroidery by Sue Hawkins (something which I have yet to attempt).


The Masked City (A Cidade das Máscaras) comes out in Brazil on the 11th August from my publisher there, Morro Branco – I hope readers enjoy it. And I’ll be returning the proof-pages for The Lost Plot to Pan Macmillan tomorrow, so that’s moving forward too . . .

L.E. Doggett My life has been busy too, which has cut down on my revising and I didn't get to go to any conventions. :( Job is a part of that but other RL stuff too concerning my wife's dad. But good edits on book Four Yay

Thanks for the understanding, and sympathy on being busy. Good luck with the stuff concerning your wife's dad.

L.E. Doggett Right now it is cleaning out his house of years of paperwork and furniture, He has some at the place he moved too but there is quite a few other pieces.

I finally did some work on a revising but man I am surprised I am not going through withdrawals of writing. So it is easy to be sympathetic even though it means waiting longer for your next one.
