Quick general life update
Yeah, still alive!
Still in PT for my knee. At this point, it's exercises forever until the left leg is as strong as the right, which right now it just isn't. Lift lift lift. Must kick more things, too.
WHITE FLAMES, my long-awaited book of erotic short stories, supposedly ships from the printer TODAY. I will believe that the publisher actually got around to fixing my misspelled name on the front cover when I hold the book in my hot widdle hands. *holds breath*
Oh yeah, so mark your calendar: book launch event May 16th at Pandemonium Books in Central Square! Details soon. It'll be a co-reading/signing with Nina Harper (aka Shariann Lewitt) whose book SUCCUBUS IN THE CITY also just came out! A night of sexy books, fer sure.
I'm trying to get back into the habit of reading BOOKS and not just the Internet and manuscripts and required reading for various contest judging. I've been carrying Anne Bishop's SEBASTIAN in my bag now for two months. I think I've read 3 chapters. I got BEST FOOD WRITING 2007 for Xmas and that's the book in the bathroom--I've gotten a lot farther, about 6-7 essays in and really enjoying them. My mom gave me HOW TO WATCH BASEBALL SMARTER and it's by the bed... but I tend to read about 3-4 pages and then conk out. It's a good book! But one I could have written myself. But I'm reading it anyway hoping to review it and a few others I've gotten recently.
Anyway, that's 3 and they are all going slowly. For many years I used to read 4 books at a time pretty much constantly, each one taking from a week to a month... at this rate, it'll take me 3 months to read these three. But... one step at a time.
I bought a small rose bush for my desk. The leaves are already turning yellow. Hmm.
Allergies are wiping me out, but not as badly as Zyrtec itself was, which was making me sleep 11 hours a night. Huh. I'll stick with chinese herbal remedies for now.
