Yes, you knew me! And I am happy to be back in your orbit!

Robin's energy was SO INTENSE it will take a long time for it to stop glowing. It's outlasting his body, I swear.

Green for mystery. Though, I had a huge albino Flemish Giant when I was a kiddo. RED eyes!

You are the eggman.

Conquering my learning curve of publishing at BookVault. And finishing up reading a book to review.

The scammers know we're always hungry for reviews. muhammedexpert60 at Gmail sent: "I’m planning to write a short Goodreads review because it genuinely stuck with me. Can I send it?" Tempted? It's a trap. DO NOT RESPOND.

Back to BookVault for me, learning more about how the system works and how to Think Like A Brit with sizing issues. Jolly good, toodle pip.

Amazon lowered the price of Parlor Poetry back to normal, so I tried to correct the sell price back to $28.00..... BUT THE DRONE STRIKES HAVE COMPLETELY MESSED UP THE PUBLISHING SYSTEM AND I CAN'T DO IT.
Thank you Amazon, for playing this round of "Play Stupid Karma Games, Win Stupid Karma Prizes".

Apologies. The price of Parlor Poetry at Amazon careened out of control. Without warning they raised their production price TWENTY DOLLARS. I had to price it at $40 (up from $28) just to make a dollar royalty. I'm working toward publishing it elsewhere and will keep you posted. #BookPricing

I'm a lifelong renter. And just... ugh. I feel the pain.

Nicely annotated! I detest that crap, I get a dozen-ish scam attempts a day in my email. Each one twice, as I have two websites. Joy.

Those scammers that prey on authors? Flooding our email with praise and bullshit? They're stepping up their game. I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM ONE TODAY. I reacted appropriately, and her ears are probably STILL ringing. Felt good to be able to scream right at one. #WritingCommunity

Last Update before I sleep: Four more. That's 49 total, JUST TODAY. I can't wait for this grift to fall out of fashion.

Update: Just got four more.

I swear, the scammers preying on authors had nothing better to do today than email false flattery and promise the moon. EVERY time I checked my mail I had 8-10 more offers. Emptied a total of 41 from the mail trash. No no no no and NO.

If you want it in paper or hardback (and I sure hope you do!), that will be available in a few days. LifeStuff slowed me down, and I am still finishing the formatting.

Today is "Random Acts of Kindness Day"! I chose today to release the 10th Anniversary edition of The Flight To Brassbright, since Constance experiences acts of kindness throughout the book. It's available NOW in eBook at many online retailers: books2read.com/b/FlightToBr...
