Downsizing to your benefit? ;)

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

So I know most of the folks that pass by this blog aren’t going to be interested in the list of titles below, but some of the folks from my rabidly public pagan days may come across ‘em here as well as on my pagan site.

We live in a small house, with very small rooms and honestly, my bookcases take up a third of the space around here. Therefore – I’m breaking my heart, and downsizing.

Even with the new bookshelf (thank you, Glas Celli!) there are just too many books, some of which have been read gently once, and tucked back into the stacks, as tightly as though they were still in a crate somewhere. I’d rather they be read, than not, if you know what I mean – some of these haven’t even been opened since 2001.

So, here we go with the first of two or three lists of books I’ll be selling, and due to various reasons, they are for the most part in mint condition. If there is more than one book per author, I’ll group them together, but they are priced individually. We have pets, and prior to 2003 we lived in a house with a smoker.

These are all $5 each, or $85 for all still available – shipping to be paid by purchaser (actual cost dependent on weight and method of shipping).
Funds will go to support The New Bedlam Project.

My day to blog…

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

So, it’s my day to blog over at The Pagan and the Pen. You should go read ‘em… so far there are two up, and there is scheduled, then I’ll be adding another one soon.

A Ghost of Christmas Past

Christmas Past, Yule Present

PS:
I am still giggling, every time I come here and see that raven with the santa hat. *snicker*

PPS:
I notice my attempts at posting reviews/interviews at Associated Content have been for naught, so far. Tonight, I finish posting, and if these disappear, I’ll be demanding the rest of my content disappear as well.

Update on Reviews and Interviews

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

So, I’m still slowly working through the TBR pile for reviews. While I know I’ve had these for a long time, and received them under varying promises of review publication (some were sent to me via Apex, and then they decided to stop doing reviews, then started again, then…gods only know.) as well as many of the interviews that were to be posted to Associated Content (that is my fault, I was under the impression we could set them up to auto-post over time, and we can not)…

And wow that was a run on, go nowhere sentence.

Ok, here’s the thing. I’m bloody damned swamped and have been for months. Despite the attempts to clear my desk before NaNoWriMo started, it didn’t happen. So..I’ve been niggling away at smaller projects until I received a rather nasty email from an author yesterday, who had sent me her pdf in September and was raging mad that I hadn’t reviewed it yet, demanded I do it NOW, and tried to call in an old friendship I barely remember to do it. I explained the situation, reminded her that I told her it would be some time yet before I could do the review, and then… I went through my pdf files, and deleted her ARC.

I’m not blurbing someone that demands to be jumped ahead of everyone else simply because we took a class together (apparently) years ago. Even my best buds Louise, Greg, Brandon and Murv don’t get jumped ahead of everyone else. Ask Louise – she’ll tell you it took me three weeks to read a short story for her.

Not to mention if I hadn’t have been the editor, I probably still wouldn’t have had time to read The Black Act. By the way, we ALL want dominatrix pictures of Louise, so if you haven’t yet bought it, go do so.

I owe four or five articles to Ghostwriters Society, many of which are partially written, or in research stages. I barely make my monthly posting at The Pagan & The Pen. When I say barely, I mean if I hadn’t have been reminded last time, I probably would have missed it.

(this is all stuff outside the day jobs of Belfire/TNBP/LeeLite and editing which are pretty much 9-5 these days)

What I need, and I am getting, btw, is a full month of catch-up time as soon as NaNo is over and I’ve turned in the big project. After that, it’s clear sailing with only TNBP and Belfire, plus occasional cover contracts with Doc Pus.

So, for the 20 or so folks I owe reviews and the 10-15 folks I owe interview postings, I am digging. I am. It’s all just that far behind…
