Random Friday

By accessing the blog through bling search I discovered I have a fan of my sketches… would have been nice if he’d linked back to me, but whatever! ;) Nice selection of my portraits of Hrithik, dear! :D Now let’s hope that the man himself stops twittering and has a look… The whole gallery with both Da Muses and others and the calendar 2014 – although I should probably take that down, since it’s June…

I’d do another Art Friday, but I didn’t do any new pencil portrait, and the new cover is still under wraps. The title (a couple more tales of the southern kingdoms) should come out at the end of the month, so not a long wait anyway.

I’m currently reading the Hugo finalists, but I haven’t found anything worth reporting yet. I’ve started with the short stories, then the novelettes, and now the novellas – I probably won’t have time to read the novels, much like it happened two years ago before Chicon, so I probably won’t vote this year either… but at least I’ll be at the Worldcon! I hope I’ll find some interesting panels to attend!

Now, tomorrow I’m off to the medieval dinner again, and hopefully when I come back on Sunday I’ll be able to upload Amazon Summer… if I get the cover. The e-book is ready, but the cover is still missing. Shit happens when you hire offline long-time friends who live in your hometown to do your covers… and that’s why I’m happier when I hire online friends from another part of the world who are delightful to work with! :) (yes, Shafali, I mean you!)

Have a great weekend! :D
