Two author things, plus hangover

I'm suffering from the effects of too much partying last night. A "hip-hop" party, where our friend Deb K. ran us through the dance-exercise paces on the grass while we drank to excess. My scales tell me this morning that the power of eating/drinking is stronger than the power of exercise. Thus, I brought the perfect snack: chocolate-dipped strawberries. Good dipped in evil. That's me.

Meanwhile, all hurdles have been jumped for getting "Passion & Peril" into the bookstore ordering stream. It may take a few weeks to infiltrate all the catalogs -- my test will be if I can find it on the Barnes & Noble website.

I have finished (for the moment) my book promo video. It is minimalist, more radio than video. In fact, it's actually a 3-minute mockumentary. It will either be remarkable or people will brand me as a total loser. It is taking 5 HOURS to upload on You Tube. When it is finally done... and if it looks okay, I'll screen it here for my loyal fans. It's been one of those projects where I've had a hundred fantastic ideas and wound up taking them all out. Go figure.
