Not much to report for September. Still working on revisions. Had to put the Hell Hound to sleep. Life sucks.
What's up with y'all?

Still too early to call.
So sorry about Hercules. I know exactly what you're going through. Our pets are our children and it's leaves such a big hole when they leave us.
Big hugs to you and Mark.

I couldn't stay with Herc. His ashes will be returned to us this week and then I'll take him back to Mississippi.

I couldn't stay with my Bailey either, Jeannie. But I admire those that can and do.
Enjoying a quiet Labor day weekend and am VERY thankful that the miserable heat wave has departed and it is actually pleasant outside! Yay!

#2 son and I are headed for the Ren Faire if this thunderstorm abates. Doesn't look promising.
Skitty, I am happy for the cooler temps cuz its easier to sleep...but that wind is too chilly for me. Temp dropped 30 degrees in one day..80s to 50s. Sheesh! Moderation, Mother Nature, moderation......

Good news.... The BLOOD SECRETS revisions are DONE and are now with Ms. Agent and Ms. Editor. I'm officially on vacation for the remainder of the week. I have the last 4 episodes of True Blood on the DVR, along with last week's Project Runway and the entire last Dr. Who season, Ben Barnes  as DORIAN GRAY on DVD, plus CATCHING FIRE and MOCKINGJAY, and a supply of popcorn. Time to relax. Bad news.... Anyone familiar with crime and mystery fiction will recognize the name Murder by the Book -- the "go to" bookstore for all things murdery. Well, our friends at MBTB have suffered a great loss, as evidenced by the following announcement posted on the MBTB website: "It is with deep sadness that we must share the news that David Thompson passed away suddenly on September 13th, 2010. David worked at Murder By The Book for 21 years, and he made an indelible impression on the store and everyone who met him. There will be a memorial service, and we will share the details as soon as they are available. In the meantime, David's wife, McKenna Jordan, asks that no tributes be sent to the bookstore for now. We appreciate the loving support that customers have always given the store, and in the difficult days to come we will need it more than ever." I met David for the first -- and sadly, only -- time in July when I signed at MBTB. I remember him as being energetic, enthusiastic, helpful, and incredibly kind. Murder by the Book and the entire mystery/crime fiction community has suffered a great loss with David's passing. My heartfelt condolences and hugs to his wife, McKenna, and all the MBTB staff. David will be greatly missed. |

Sad news about David. Many people had kind things to say about him, but I never had the chance to meet him. Great news about BS.  |
