never in the here and now
Cindy, I know you are busy now with your retreat coming it, but have you thought about selling the ebook rights to a smaller company who can make it available in the uk? I'm just wondering about all the authors out there with rights to major markets where the print versions didn't sell. It seems like it's in the best interests of the authors to get ebook versions out.

Almost always never where I should be...
I've heard from the vet. Unfortunately there isn't really much of a change. They gave her some calcium to bring down her potassium level which was extremely high. It has fallen slightly but she still has not gone wee which taking into account the fluids they have her on she should have. They have given her a drug as a last ditch effort to kick start her kidneys and some diuretics.

The vet wants us in tomorrow to discuss things.

Leanan-Sidhe is the king.

(Also, it makes me happy how many of you compliment my sex scenes. *beams*)

Cindy, I understand. I'm just determined to get every sixty cent credit against my advance that I can. I tell myself every sixty cents counts.

amarie, it does.
but we've got to choose
our battles, you know? i need to
sell this book or look into self pub.
then i might be able to work backwards
from there.

good luck! esp if your ebook
*should* be in uk edition.

Hey guys!!! Happy Superbowl Sunday. I am appropriately hanging out at B&N and the mall and avoiding TVs ;)

I heard back from the R&R agent that she got my R&R, is looking forward to reading and 'talk soon.' I assume it's all formality but still exciting. I got a partial request off a query & am waiting on everyone else.

:D

At least you're not twisting in the wind, wondering if it even arrived. I like an agent who keeps you in the loop more than many seem to do.

Maryn, who should go put potatoes in the oven

I'm home and exhausted. They really outdid themselves on my party. Got lots of very cool presents and gift cards, which I had told everyone no presents. They didn't listen, but I'm kinda glad they didn't.

Nap time.

Evening all! (Well, for those for whom it's evening)

Kiahanna, I realized a long time ago that you do the best you can for your pets and then you take it from there. Sometimes things happen. ((((Hugs))))

Took Blue to a fun match today. Which was actually fun because for once he didn't sit in his crate in the back room and bark his silly head off. He was also a good boy in the ring (although it's clear that practicing in the living room means he has no idea what to do when we have to heel more than three and a half steps in a straight line). Progress is being made! Now lets hope this carries over to the show next week.

I have gotten very little writing done this weekend, but I probably needed the time off (that's what I tell myself).

Take care, everyone!
