Tuesday's inbox is full of grace

Upon rereading my somewhat-tipsy screed on heroes and villains last night, I am reminded that I've kind of become a one-note blogger, more often than not. I used to tell kitty stories and post pictures of my fish (who says "glub glub" and is well), or recount adventures running around with my friends or my husband. But lately it's all book news all the time: writing books, book announcements, book work, book book book.

But honestly, that's what my life looks like these days. I work all morning on day-job stuff (not interesting blogging fodder), break for lunch and/or the daily run (also none too thrilling), and then spend the afternoon and much of the evening doing writer business work – and if there's anything to report, this is usually where it comes from.

My apologies. I will make an effort to mix things up more.

Starting with my next post.

Because today, I have a links round-up to tack onto this one – but hey, it's lots of good news! I can't really be expected to keep it to myself, now can I?

More foreign rights sales – I'm linking to my bibliography here, because it gives me great pleasure to update it with info like the following – UK rights for Bloodshot and Hellbent have sold to Titan! I've never had an official UK edition before, so this will be cool. That makes Russia, Italy, and now the UK for Bloodshot.

Boneshaker makes Librarians' Favorite Books to Recommend for 2010 – And three cheers for that, eh? Many thanks to all the awesome librarians who have been so amazingly supportive of this book!

And now for a quick Bonus! point of note: All three of my Subterranean Press novellas – Dreadful Skin, Those Who Went Remain There Still, and Clementine – are now available for the Kindle (and they are processing for other electronic formats as well). I am exceedingly chuffed about this for all the predictable reasons, but in particular I'm glad for Those Who Went and Clementine, for they were released in very limited hardback runs – and they swiftly became tough to find.

If you are a Kindle owner and you'd like to pick them up at the killer price of $4.99 each, here are some helpful links:

Those Who Went Remain There Still

Dreadful Skin

Clementine



(As noted here before, Clementine will be released in trade paperback sometime next year. I will keep you posted with the details as they filter down to me.)
