THE BIG DIG

I could be referring to the "Blizzard of '09'", but sadly this big dig is about my house. It never ceases to amaze me how far the crumbs from a single slice of pie can travel, or how many blankets one family can drag out for the viewing of a single movie.

In any case, life is sweet and messes can wait. For now, at least, because my get-up-and-go got up and went about a week ago.

On to books and writerly stuff. . .

Despite all my marketing efforts--radio ads, planned book-signings, and the blog tour--the Christmas push to sell "Dawn's Early Light" took a shot in the foot when Covenant ran out of volume one, "Dark Sky at Dawn."

Covenant ran an emergency printing and the books are back in, so now we're working to reschedule the signings for January and push the book along.

Thank you to all the readers who have taken a moment to email your reviews of the book. Each note has been a treasure. Thanks also to each of you who've felt "Dawn's Early Light" is worthy of a Whitney Award nomination. I appreciate each vote like a nod of affirmation, so thank you, thank you. The link is up there in the corner if anyone else would like to nominate the it.

I'm working on book four, "The Morning Breaks," and I'm salivating to get back to work on my romance/mystery, so I've got a lot of traveling and writing on the horizon. I'm sure you've got a busy calendar as well.

So here's hoping each one of you have a restful week and a wonderful New Year!
