Oh Friday..... ooo, bookses!

My cold seems to be settling in nicely.... meh. I am draggy and dopey and sleeping more than usual.  Which I know is a healing thing but it's playing havoc with the stuff I'm supposed to be DOING.

On the other hand, there are e-books to be bought!  

First: Angry Robot (not my publisher, no affiliation with me) is having a 50% off sale! angryrobotbooks.com For those of us in the US, that makes their ebooks Actually Affordable! Also: no DRM. Ever. So what are you waiting for?

Second: there's only 18 more hours to go to get in with Danny Hendrickson and Sylvan Investigations. $9 gets you two novellas. $15 gets you two novellas and a short story. $40 gets you two novellas, and THREE short stories! And yes... DRM free, in mobi, epub and pdf. But you'd better hurry, 'cause once that window closes....

Call for Reader Help! (because author has CRS Syndrome)

Okay, my brain has gone walkabout (after ten books in the series, I think it's allowed). Anyone remember in which Cosa Nostradamus novel a bay (sea) serpent got bribed into helping with a case with a sack of sausage?


First one with the info gets a character named for them in MILES TO GO.

Don't Wait

From Twitter:

@LAGilman We never know how long we're going to get - we just get this chance NOW to do something. Anything. Don't wait. #fuckcancer

If you don't know someone - probably several someones - with cancer, it's only because they're not talking about it. Cancer hits everywhere, in small doses and large ones, and every form of it is terrifying, our own bodies turned enemy. And the clock that is always ticking, suddenly becomes that much louder.

I know too many people with cancer. Some of them have been fighting it for years. Some have only just been diagnosed. Some have hopeful outlooks - some have a death sentence. I'm honored to know them, because each one of them has said, in effect, "fuck cancer. There are things I need and want to DO."

Don't wait until your doctor looks at you with That Expression. Don't wait for the ticking to get louder. If you have something you need to do, if you have something you want to do.... do it. Now.

Don't wait.
