Well, it worked. I retrieved a personal Facebook page - with the invaluable assistance of the very nice people at Open Road Media - and am now in the process of making sure members of my family know that this strange person sending them "Friend" requests is actually me. The page seems to be in the old format - not Timeline, so I evidently don't get that really nice cover-picture - but that's okay. My chief FB contact is still going to be the "fan page."

A peaceful afternoon of writing. In my costly romp through the bookstores of the French Quarter I got a couple of very fine research books for Mr. J Goes to Washington (working title), and a couple that will be useful for the next January project, which I can't WAIT to get to... except that I owe Severn House a vampire book in between. And I've taken on another project that will really help things financially this summer (more on that subject later). With the result that I'm behind on ALL my work (due to the New Orleans trip), and feeling very overwhelmed. (Exhaustion from getting home late and teaching early didn't help).

There's something so deadly about that little sign in a bookstore in another town: WE SHIP. I read that, and it's all over.
