I hope everyone’s had a nice fall season and/or semester (for those of you who are in school). I’ve been pretty caught up in school myself and have had very little time for anything else these past few months. I wasn’t even able to do NaNoWriMo this year, which truly saddened me as it was the first year since 2003 that I have not participated :(. (I will, however, still be donating to them because I think it’s an awesome project and I hope to join in again in the future). But hey, I got 5 A’s and learned a LOT, so I guess busting my butt on school work was worth it!
As for my next book: it will not be released this month, as I had hoped, because…well, because that was a REALLY ambitious goal, especially given how intense this semester turned out to be! Lol. However, there IS a mostly-completed draft, I AM still working on it and it will be released sometime, hopefully in 2012. The excerpt will be up before the year is out! That’s a promise. In the meantime, I’ve decided to donate any proceeds from the December and January sales of Fear and Laundry to the Houston Food Bank and Meals on Wheels. So if you know of anyone who needs a last-minute gift idea or is getting an e-reader for Christmas, please don’t hesitate to suggest this little 99 cent book of mine! Ha, ha :).
Thank you all for what has truly been one of the most amazing years of my life. I will never forget it. Have a wonderful holiday and I will update again very soon…xoxo - Liz
The past few days have ruled. Hard. I saw My Chemical Romance at the House of Blues on Friday night (yes, it was amazing!) and spent the weekend in Dallas visiting old friends and my adorable godchildren. Then, yesterday was my seven year wedding anniversary. In addition to the MCR tickets, I got roses and chocolate-covered Oreos (not to mention the seven years of dreaminess and awesomeness, of course). Having a husband rocks!
There’s still a little time to enter for a chance to win a paperback copy of Fear and Laundry over at Goodreads. I’m also giving away both paperback and electronic copies on LibraryThing, if you’ve got an account there.
PS: I did get my Kindle repaired after all. It was quick, painless and inexpensive - and gave me yet another reason to love Amazon! Now I just need to decide what I’m going to read next…
Lesson of the week: don’t leave your Kindle sitting on the couch while you get up to go do something else for a minute.
‘Cause when you get back you might, you know, forget that you left it there and accidentally kneel on it and make the screen go all wonky :(.
I’m so saddened by this! I’m addicted to my Kindle. And what a time to mess it up, too - what with summer and all it’s attendant summer-reading-gloriousness right around the corner! Here’s hoping I can get it fixed or replaced soon.
In brighter news: Meg Cabot’s post over at Forever Young Adult totally made my day yesterday. I loved everything she had to say in it. Have I mentioned that she’s awesome? ‘Cause she is.
Not to seem like I’m obsessed with the fact that time seems to be flying by or anything (although I AM fairly freaked out about it) but…earlier I realized that Fear and Laundry has now been out in the world for about two months already!
Yesterday I found out that it’s now available in Germany, via Amazon’s German Kindle store. That was a pretty neat little two-month anniversary present, I think :).
