Life is progressing apace. Very much apace. Lots of little news.
I have a change to my Continuum schedule. I ought to give people the updated version before the event itself.
GUFF is still open for nominations (we decided to give it a few more days) and there isn't a single UK candidate. Why isn't there even one UK candidate? Don't you want to visit Australia and meet us all in wonderfully warm Brisbane in the perfect season for Brisbane? All the details here: http://rantalica.com/1859/the-race-is-still-on-guff-nominations-deadline-extension/
My thing that I was worried about has resolved itself very nicely, and I'll make an announcement when I can, which will hopefully be in a few weeks. Alas, it's not a job, but it's the next best thing and it entails finishing something big, which means some of you will have worked it out already.
The Beast is in its final stages before release. The print version has been checked by Amberley and it looks lovely. People keep asking if it was influenced by Mortimer's book, which shows that Marketing at Amberley know their stuff. The Beast actually came first and has a different focus, but it's been packaged in a way similar to Mortimer's book.
Katrin and I have started writing guest blog posts for our blogtour. If anyone would like to be a part of this tour, please say. it has two versions: the one for the UK market, which starts in a few days, and the one for the international market, which starts in a couple of months (to allow books to reach Australia).
I still haven't found a blog owner who really, really wants me to talk about how I came to know so much about Old French insults or who wants a photo blogpost explaining how pictures help research a novel, or how one can write a book like the Beast from 10,000 miles away (this song is now my earworm, and deservedly so - on a related note, how on earth do the US signers who do this song get ten thousand miles for their journey? do the ships get lost or go round in circles on the Atlantic? and some of the words in this version are not the words that I know, which is par for the course - I seem to always know weird variants, which is one reason I don't join the singing folks*).
I just looked at the time. Other news will have to wait. I have an hour to complete the three tasks that need to be done by lunchtime. Today is Day of the Deadline.
*ignoring the fact that I can't actually sing.
