lagilman | Five things close out the corporate work-week

Far later than I'd planned, and only due to the good offices and never-ending patience of PattiN and StevenP, Tales of the Cosa Nostradamus is up and available for purchase right now on Smashwords. Six short stories covering a range of characters -- 4 reprints, 1 previously available only via BookViewCafe, and 1 never-before-published (it will be out in print next year). Plus some bonus material, just for fun... all for the fabulous introductory price of $3.99!

And next time anyone says "oh, turning a book into e-format is just pushing a button," you have my permission to bitchslap them into the next country.

Submitted w/o comment: Goldman Sachs charged with fraud by SEC: http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/gs/overview

No, really. No comment. Okay: "about fucking time."

Only about 1100 new words on TVW#3, but it was a scene of careful picking rather than mad rushng so... am not too displeased. Still on schedule.

Gleefully quoting

mizkit: "watches all the chaos thanks to the volcano and thinks: Welcome to the 21st Century, Mankind. You are still Mother Nature's bitch."

I'm sympathetic to everyone who is stranded or otherwise disrupted by the smoke, obviously. But it's a good reminder that the things we take for granted? Not so much. Still not King o the World.

Tonight it's just me, some kung pao chicken, a glass of wine, the DVD of SHERLOCK HOLMES, and some freelance editing. I'm good with that.

Y'all have yourselves a good weekend!

AND A BONUS SIXTH! HARD MAGIC is shipping! (yeah I know, May release date. Try telling Amazon/BN that!) Is your copy en route yet?
